The Rock Cycle: the Rock Cycle in Action

The video tutorial explains the formation and transformation of rocks through the rock cycle. It begins with shale, a sedimentary rock formed from fine sediments. Shale can transform into schist, a metamorphic rock, under heat and pressure. Further heat and pressure can turn schist into an igneous rock. The rock cycle is a continuous process where rocks change from one form to another, starting with molten rock that cools into igneous rock, which weathers into sedimentary rock, and can transform into metamorphic rock, completing the cycle.
