Drawing the Rock Cycle

The video begins with an introduction to adventure and bicycles, explaining the etymology of 'bicycle'. It transitions into a discussion about Earth's layers, including the core, mantle, and crust, and the role of tectonic plates in forming mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. The rock cycle is then explored, detailing how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks form and transform over time through processes like weathering, erosion, and subduction. The video concludes by emphasizing the geological timeline and the continuous transformation of rocks.
