Rocks and Their Formation Through Sedimentation and Metamorphosis

Tessa introduces the concept of rocks and their formation, focusing on three main types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. She demonstrates how sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediment, metamorphic rocks from heat and pressure, and igneous rocks from cooled magma. The video concludes with a review of the rock cycle, emphasizing the transformation processes between different rock types.
