Rock Types and Formation in the Earth’s Layers

Mr. Bradley introduces the three main types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. He explains how each type is formed, using examples and demonstrations. Sedimentary rocks form from compressed layers of sediment, metamorphic rocks form under heat and pressure, and igneous rocks form from cooled molten rock. The video includes visits to locations like the Origna Mining Experience and the Giants Causeway to illustrate these concepts. The rock cycle is also explained, showing how rocks transform over time.
