Here's how educator @mrswendymturner.bsky.social ties up end-of-unit loose ends – check it out!
Anchor chart titled "End of Unit Reflection: Topic: Environments and Survival." Below are four questions, with sticky notes beneath each containing student responses: "U – What do you understand about the topic?" "N – What new information do you have?" "I – What's interesting about it?" "T – What was tricky for you?"

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?

Watch seismic waves from the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar ripple across North America. This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows how the ground moved as detected by seismometers across the continent.

⚒️ This looks bad, bad, bad: moment magnitude of 7.7 earthquake near Mandalay, Myanmar (95.9°E, 22.0°N), at a depth of 10 km. Strong inland shaking in a heavily populated area - USGS PAGER alert level is RED. Following thread compiles useful information from reliables sources I have seen on here.

The M7.7 Myanmar earthquake occurred on the Sagaing Fault. This right-lateral strike-slip fault is one of the major faults that defines the plate boundary between the Indian and Sunda plates.

Can I predict an earthquake? Sure! There will be an earthquake in California today. But this isn’t meaningful because there are earthquakes in CA EVERY DAY. For an earthquake prediction to be meaningful, it has to specify a time, location, & magnitude that is unlikely to occur randomly. 1/ 🧪

No you are right. I don't have any books to recommend expect your regional mineral guide. I prefer to use Mindat.org since its free online guide and general has pictures, the localities, and other important information for a geologist for a lot of minerals.

Finally back home from the Tampa Bay area. I'm mad that I wasn't able to bring a shovel and sieve with me. Not the less some good finds from the Plio-Pleistocene sediment.

Have you ever heard of a limnic eruption? Probably not, since only a few have occurred in recorded history. Here is a thread on one of the wildest natural disasters that almost never happen, and the “invisible tsunami” that claimed over 1,700 lives in the middle of the night, without a sound. 1/10🧵

Amethyst my birthstone! Amethyst get their color from iron impurities and being exposed to radiation gets the purple color. This radiation comes from the Earth itself. #Geology #Blacksky #Rockhound

Smokey Quartz is next on our list. Smokey quartz has aluminum impurities. Those impurities are being exposed to radiation which why it has that color. This radiation can come from the decay of minerals. Smokey quartz did have the use of sunglasses in ancient China. #Blacksky #Geology #Rockhound

Blue quartz. A rare type of quartz only found in a limited locations. Blue quartz gets its color due to extremely tiny rutile needles inside and indicates its form in high temperatures environment. #blacksky #geology #rockhound

Jay @jayium-z.bsky.social · 12/02/2025
Rose quartz is next on our list. Well know for its pink color. Rose quartz gets in color because of fibers of an aluminum-boron silicate mineral, not titanium. #blacksky #geology #rockhound

Officially dubbing this week quartz week. Every day Im posting a variety of types of Quartz. With that being said let's start with clear/milky quartz. Commonly found everywhere with little to no impurities. Common uses are to make glass, microchips, and to find economic minerals. #Blacksky #Geology

In the US 0.9% of the work force of considered themselves as black environmental scientists/ geoscientist. This post is dedicated to those people who contribute whether working in a lab or working in the classrooms. I love being geologist but I’m proud to be a black geologist. #Geology #Blacksky
