The video tutorial explains the composition of Earth's crust, focusing on rocks and minerals. It categorizes rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic types, detailing their formation processes and characteristics. Igneous rocks form from solidified magma, sedimentary rocks from accumulated sediments, and metamorphic rocks from transformed existing rocks. The rock cycle illustrates the continuous transformation among these types. Additionally, the video highlights the practical uses of rocks in construction, as fuels, and in other applications.
