Rocks Minerals And The Earth's Crust: A Journey Through Types And Formation

The video tutorial explains the composition of Earth's crust, focusing on rocks and minerals. It categorizes rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic types, detailing their formation processes. Igneous rocks form from solidified magma, sedimentary rocks from layered sediments, and metamorphic rocks from altered pre-existing rocks. The rock cycle describes the transformation between these types. The video also highlights the uses of rocks in construction, as fuels, and in jewelry.
