Geoscience Processes Review Game

The video explains the journey of rock particles, known as sediments, through the rock cycle. It covers how sediments are weathered and eroded, and how they transform into sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. The process can take seconds or millions of years. Sedimentary rocks like coal and flint preserve fossils, while metamorphic rocks form under heat and pressure. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, with types like obsidian and pumice. The rock cycle is a continuous process of transformation.
