Rock Cycle Song

The video tutorial explains minerals as solid, naturally occurring substances with a fixed chemical structure, providing examples like quartz and gold. It then describes rocks as composed of various compounds and introduces the three major types: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma, metamorphic rocks from heat or pressure, and sedimentary rocks from accumulated sediment. The rock cycle is a continuous process where rocks transition between types, influenced by environmental factors.
