El ciclo de la roca: tipos de rocas

The video tutorial explains the formation and characteristics of three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooled molten rock, either magma or lava, with examples like granite and basalt. Sedimentary rocks are created from compacted sediments, such as sandstone and limestone, often formed in water, wind, or ice environments. Metamorphic rocks result from existing rocks transformed by heat and pressure, with examples including shale and quartzite. The video provides a concise overview of these rock types and their formation processes.
