What Are Rocks and How Do They Form? Crash Course Geography #18

From towering mountains to pebbles along a river, the Earth is made of a huge variety of rocks. In today's episode, we're going to follow the rock cycle of a piece of granite in the Himalayan mountains, and as you'll see, every rock has a far-reaching story to tell often millions of years in the making.

I was fascinated with rocks as a kid, I even had a collection of granite stones that were different colours. Sadly, one day my sister chose to use the container housing said stones as a weapon; I lost a tooth; and some of my passion for rock collecting lol

I think it would be nice if your layer image which depicts the Earth as having a symmetrical, homogeneous core was more realistic and depicted the core as the non-homogeneous structure it has been discovered to be.

I have the smallest possible gripe with this video. At 2:34, Alize says 'radius of 960 km', but the graphic in the video shows that the diameter is 960 km. Ultimately not important, but just wanted to point it out in case you guys decide to reupload.
