So, You Think You Know Plate Tectonics?!? Part 3
Learn all the basics of geology in our new conversational textbook - campGEO!
Available here: geo.campcourses.com
In today's episode, we continue with our series on 'So... You think you know plate tectonics?' - Part 3.
We tackle these questions regarding Planetary Tectonics:
What would the Earth look like if PT was not an active process?Mars has all of the solar system’s largest volcanoes. Why?Is there granite on other planets?No water, no granites, no oceans, no continentsWhy does PT make Earth a beautiful planet?We also discuss some future episode ideas that happened to come up during the discussion - like doing an episode series on the Carbon Cycle.
We hope you enjoy!

Rare Earth Elements are a huge topic in mining and geology now, and in technology. The most important at the moment is Neodymium (Nd) and it is also really important for geology research. Let’s cover the basics.
In this episode, we discuss Neodymium in two broad concepts: 1- the importance for society and geological research, and 2- the geology of Neodymium.
Some example of the societal importance are that these are the strongest commercially available magnets, they are used in electric and hybrid vehicle motors - the two motors in a Tesla that make it go fast! Toyota Prius said to contain ~ 1kg of Nd in it’s motor, it's used in wind turbines, Buckeyballs (banned because kids kept swallowing them, they're use in MRI machines. These are just a few examples.
Join us in this fun discussion about a very important REE.

Customer Reviews
Indispensable
Tremendous resources for anyone interested in the geosciences.
Too much side conversations and giggling
Too much side conversations and giggling, not taking geology seriously enough for me.
Need to take geology more seriously.
Geology and caving
I love this podcast! I’ve shared it with my grotto groups😊
