The video tutorial explores the geosfera, the internal layer of the Earth, which extends from the surface to the planet's center. It discusses the composition and characteristics of the geosfera, including the crust, mantle, and core. The crust is the outermost layer, consisting of continents and ocean floors, and is shaped by tectonic plates. The mantle, making up 82% of Earth's volume, contains magma and is responsible for volcanic eruptions. The core, composed of solid and liquid iron, generates magnetic fields. The video concludes with a call to action to subscribe for more educational content.
