Ever wondered what lies beneath your feet? Earth's crust is a treasure trove of rocks! Dive into the world of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.
Did you know all rocks are made from minerals? These solid wonders are formed in Earth's lithosphere. From fiery volcanoes to layers of ancient sediments, every rock has a story!
Imagine red-hot magma cooling down to form solid rock! Igneous rocks can be extrusive, formed from lava on the surface, or intrusive, cooling slowly beneath the crust.
Weathering and erosion create particles that settle and form sedimentary rocks. From sand dunes to riverbeds, these rocks tell tales of ancient environments.
Deep within the Earth, rocks undergo intense heat and pressure. This process, called metamorphism, changes their composition and appearance. Metamorphic rocks are nature's true masterpieces!
