Three, Six, Nine, The Rock Drank Wine - The Moon Got Tangled In A Telephone Line
from Geology On The Rocks · host James Hobbs
Where to even begin? This week is a very musically inspired episode. From the very start JtG finds old music he wrote as heard in the Intro and is quickly followed up by unnecessary wanking. JtG and BB finally debut the much awaited 'That Freaking Rocks' theme song and JtG embarrasses himself making the intro to the newest of new segments, Mineral Minute. This week's conversation is pulled by the Moon's gravitational force and covers what causes the tides, how do tides vary during monthly cycles, what types of tidal patterns exist, etc. More than likely it is just Thor drinking from his horn. We examine the Bay of Fundy and the rituals of the Grunion. We harness the energy and discuss the possibility of using tides as a viable source of energy. Millerite is this weeks sponsor in the Mineral Minute. We then turn our attention to tying up loose ends. The question is finally answered whether or not California will fall off into the ocean during the next big one. Probably not. But Amasia is a possibility. Lastly we discuss Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada Batholith. The episode ends with the return of That Freaking Rocks and the debut of the JtG and BB's music baby. The idea is floated of having musical guests join us for future episodes to discuss their music. If you have music or do science, reach out to us and we would love to have you on.
