Ciclos de las rocas

The video tutorial explores the formation and transformation of rocks on Earth. It begins with the oldest rocks, formed over 4000 million years ago, and explains the rock cycle, where natural processes break and form rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from compressed mineral particles, while metamorphic rocks result from pressure and heat. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma, both below and above the Earth's surface. The movement of tectonic plates, driven by magma cycles, leads to mountain formation. The tutorial highlights the dynamic nature of Earth's geology.
