The video tutorial explains how scientists classify rocks into three main types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Sedimentary rocks form from layers of material like minerals and organic matter. Metamorphic rocks originate from existing rocks that undergo heat and pressure, leading to transformation. Igneous rocks form from cooled lava or magma. Each type of rock is illustrated with examples such as limestone, marble, and basalt.

What are the three main types of rocks classified by scientists?

• Limestone, Sandstone, Slate

• Granite, Marble, Basalt

• Sedimentary, Metamorphic, Igneous

• Magma, Lava, Strata

How are sedimentary rocks primarily formed?

• By cooling of magma
