The video tutorial explores different types of craters, including impact, volcanic, and hydrothermal craters. Impact craters are formed by meteorites colliding with planets or moons, leaving scars on their surfaces. These craters vary in size and shape, with notable examples on Earth and the Moon. Volcanic craters are circular depressions formed by volcanic activity, sometimes creating lakes. Hydrothermal craters result from explosions due to underground water pressure, with Yellowstone as a key example. The video concludes with a reflection on studying craters to learn about space.
