Types of Rocks and Processes

The video tutorial explores the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. It explains their formation processes and characteristics. The rock cycle is introduced, highlighting processes like weathering, erosion, and heat and pressure. The video also discusses natural processes that shape landscapes, distinguishing between exogenic and endogenic processes. Exogenic processes include weathering and erosion, while endogenic processes involve mantle convection and plate tectonics.
