Types of Rocks: Science

Rocks are made from melted rock that cools down and then it hardens again when it cools. (It is hot outside and then when it comes outside volcano it hardens).

Sedimentary rocks are made from tiny pieces of rocks, minerals, and even the remains of plants and animals that have settled down over a very long time. Sometimes you can find fossils in them

They get buried deep underground where it's really hot and squishy. This heat and pressure transform them into something new, with different patterns and colors.

Rocks get worn down by things like rain, wind, and even tiny plants. These natural forces cause the rocks to break into smaller pieces.

Rocks get stretched, squished, and cracked because of things like freezing, thawing, and the power of the elements.

rocks change because they react with things like rain, air, or even tiny living things in the soil.

when wind, water, or ice wears away rocks, soil, or even mountains over a long time. moves and carries tiny pieces of Earth from one place to another.
