Explore the intricate processes of geology as materials rise to the Earth's surface through heating, pressure, and various metamorphic processes without melting. Discover how intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks form, the effects of erosion and deposition, and the significance of sedimentary layers in shaping our planet. Witness the beauty of volcanic eruptions, lava flows, and the diverse rock formations that reveal Earth's dynamic history. This comprehensive guide delves into the interactions of elements like CO2, H2O, and SOX during geological transformations.
