Welcome to Rock Talks with Maud.
Are you ready for rocks?
Me, too.
I'm thrilled that you are here
at the Canterlot Natural History Museum
to learn about rocks, minerals, fossils,
and, last, but not least...
...landforms.
As you can see,
our display is currently undergoing some metamorphic changes.
It's been rocky getting
this new one off the ground,
and we're all feeling...
the pressure.
That's a little rock business humor for you.
Ha-ha.
Good one, Maud!
Thank you.
Minerals are classified as naturally occurring substances
formed in a geological process.
They feature a crystalline structure,
in addition to specific physical properties
and chemical composition.
Now for something really fun.
I will point to the sedimentary rocks.
There. And there.
There. That one.
There. And there.
Ready for what we planned with Maud?
Let's do it!
Thanks to the rock cycle,
we also have these gems.
Friction heats up rocks.
Baked rock doesn't melt,
it forms them into crystals.
But all of it starts with hot magma
rising to the crust through volcanic pipes.
You might know it as "lava".
"Magma-nificent."
And the process of fossilization
is the reason we have these dinosaur bones.
Imagine, if you will,
that these colossal prehistoric beasts
go walking through the museum right now.
Look at that.
You don't have to imagine.
"Dino-mite."
As a proud member of the Maud Squad,
I just wanted to ask,
will you sign my geology book?
Look at Maud!
She's ecstatic!
