The Rock Cycle

The video explores the life cycles of butterflies and rocks, emphasizing the rock cycle's complexity. It explains how rocks transform through weathering, erosion, and pressure, forming igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. The cyclical and interconnected nature of these transformations is highlighted, showing how rocks can change forms under different conditions.
