Geologist VS Hermitcraft

In this Mumbo Jumbo Hermitcraft video, Catherine Mottram of the University of Portsmouth Geology department reacts to the mountains on the Hermitcraft server. Catherine explains how Minecraft mountains are made, If the Hermitcraft Boatem district is impossible, and tips for terraforming in minecraft.
A big thank you to Catherine and the University of Portsmouth for making this video possible, and a big thanks to Dave Gibbs for reaching out!

In theory the waterfall *could be a non-spewing geyser… where the water flows in down low, then boils over lava deep down and shoots up through the core of the mountain, cooling off as it rises, returning to a liquid state as it finally crests the flow zone… but if so then that water would likely be rather warm and very nutrient rich, making the surrounding stone all covered in algae, lichen, and plant growth…

one thing I picked up on in my intro geology class elective was that diorite and andesite have approximately the same mineral and silica content, the main difference is grain size, if it cooled fast (extrusive, possibly ejected out of a volcano) it will have larger grains and be closer to diorite, and if it cooled slowly (intrusive, likely magma trapped in the earths crust) it will have smaller grains and be closer to andesite. andesite, diorite, granite (and even basalt) are all igneous rocks meaning they formed from cooling magma.

Hmm. Cleo: A Minecraft KZbinr and content creator. Was also a teacher once, though not at a prestigious academy. Katherine: A working geologist, working with a university to study the field of geology. Has gone on many geological expeditions to study Himalayan topography, geology, geography, etc. Not much of a comparison, is it? Edit: Please stop trying to inform me that Cleo was a geologist. The original comment, the one in which this is a reply to, clearly states "Given that Cleo is a geologist..." And so, I have come here assuming that such a detail would be a triviality, and no one would need to make mention of it. However, that was apparently not correct. So I will speak plainly: I know that Cleo was a geologist. But she is no longer working. My comparison still stands whether or not Cleo was a geologist.

This video was really interesting! I especially enjoyed the way each rock formation was described and how they would or could have come into being! It also felt like a mini-documentary. Well done Mumbo and Catherine!

[@Silverbell_Styx]

I absolutely LOVE this idea, Mumbo. Maybe have occasional videos of experts challenging Hermits to do certain builds after taking a look at builds that are already done? I would LOVE to see that!

@@darkalystar Yeah, it's the mark of a skilled lecturer. Lots of people can stand there and spew facts, dry and uninteresting. I'm in this picture and I don't like it. Lots of people can be engaging but ultimately accomplish little other than entertain your time away. Which is fine, when that's what you want. A good lecturer takes the best of both. This is what you want in an educator.

I absolutely loved this video. It was informative fun and really interesting. Absolutely love Catherine's energy and passion to teach what she loves. I feel like this is the kind of way that new people can interact and learn about topics that are usually thought of as uninteresting or too complex for newer minds. You should definitely do more with different professionals

[@ApacheGamingUK]

Could you do another collab with Catherine, showcasing samples of all the different rock and mineral types in Minecraft? What is Tuff? What would the closest real-world rock be to Netherack? Can Geodes really grow big enough to stand inside? Can lava and water make Obsidian? Does Diorite really look like bird poop? From the comments: What kind of stone, is "Stone"? It'd be really good to see some of this stuff, and get people interested in it all. My uncle is a Geologist, and my mum is a retired Geography teacher. We have small samples of lots of different rocks, metals, and minerals, including Quartz, Amethyst Geode, Obsidian, Gold. It's really interesting stuff, and it can actually give inspiration for builds, just to handle the stuff.

[@ItzWaterWheelz]

Two words: Yes Please

[@-sturmfalke-]

Tuff is actually a real rock, you can find images of it in the internet. Lava and water does make obsidian, but it has to be very fluid lava, and I don't think water is actually required make it, it's just when it cools down, but since lava in minecraft doesn't cool down, they used water to do that. I'm not an expert, but I heard things here and there.

[@MrKeinanen]

Yes, diorite really does look like bird poop.

[@ZomboidMania]

The last 2 questions are a yes, but idk about the other ones

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand this marks the end of season 8 binge-watching for me. 10/10 it was a fun series to binge-watch especially on rough times. Thank you for making these videos non-stop since 2013. It helps a lot Mumbo, like you can't even imagine how these types of videos can change a sour mood into a really chill and happy vibes after seeing everything from EP 1. I'm now onto HC 9, or maybe.. Grian's POV first.. or Pearl.. Maybe Scar, but he died a lot I assume xD
