In this program a young environmental engineer takes viewers into the field for an in-depth look at the rock cycle and the geologic processes that occur within Earth’s core, mantle, and crust. Using dynamic graphics to illustrate essential terms, the video covers the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks; their physical and chemical properties; subgroups and examples of each; and where they fit in to the rock cycle. The video also provides an informative overview of minerals and the methods used to classify them. A viewable/printable worksheet is available online. (20 minutes)
