Well it makes pretty good sense:

Coax: audio, and video all merged into one signal.
Composite (RCA): Audio channels seperated, video signal still merged.
SVideo: Audio channels seperated, video seperated into luminance
(brightness) and the chrominance (colour).  Color components still
merged.
Component: All signals are seperated.  2 audio and 3 video.  A number of
different formats exist for doing component video such as YPbPr or RGB,
among other less common versions.  I believe most displays that accept
component support YPbPr only, with more advanced ones accepting
additional encodings.  RGB is mostly used on SCART equiped displays in
europe or on things like VGA.

Of course the more signals you overlap or encode together, the more
chance there is of interference, and the signal gets worse.
