Types and Features of Rocks

The video tutorial explains the formation and characteristics of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, with types like intrusive and extrusive. Sedimentary rocks form from material deposition and erosion, often showing layers. Metamorphic rocks form under high pressure and temperature, with foliated and non-foliated types. The video also covers the rock cycle, illustrating the transformation between rock types.

What is the primary process that forms igneous rocks?

• Erosion and deposition

• Compaction and cementation
