Understanding Rocks and Their Formation

The video explores the fascinating world of rocks, explaining their formation, transformation, and breakdown over billions of years. It covers the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, and how they are formed. The video also discusses the process of soil and sand formation from rocks and highlights the presence of rocks in everyday life, such as in construction and glass. The importance of understanding rocks and their role in Earth's history is emphasized.
