But the Sun is tiny compared to the solar system which is tiny compared to the distance to the next star. Oh, did we mention that there are over 100 billion stars in our galaxy (which is about 100,000 light years in diameter) which is one of hundreds of billions of galaxies in just the observable universe (which might be infinite for all we know). Don't feel small. We find it liberating. Your everyday human stresses are nothing compared to this enormity that we are a part of. Enjoy the fact that we get to be part of this vastness! About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.

The Asian way, the Swiss way and the American way. See YouTube video "Mountain Formation Simplified". Compares formation of various rocks to cooking pastry and breads. See YouTube video "Rocks Simplified". The rock cycle in the context of a story. See YouTube video "Geology Simplified".

So when the magma cools down and drags the lithosphere would that cause an earthquake?

@khanacademy just out of curiosity; what is the difference between geology and geography? In my university in Norway, the bachelor different programs are usually differentiated with that geology is a natural science and geography is a social science. However, I hear some Americans talking about physical geography. I am confused.
