Rocks

They’re everywhere. Some are so big that we can’t move them. Some are so small that we almost can’t see them. Some are shiny, some are dull. Some are rough, some are smooth. Some are plain and ordinary, and some are extraordinarily beautiful. Since the the entire planet is made of rocks, they are a very important part of our lives.

Title 1

Lava runs down the side of a volcano.

Deep beneath the earth, it is so hot and there is so much pressure that rocks become a hot liquid. This liquid, molten rock mixture is called magma. Sometimes, magma rises to the surface and is called lava. This can occur during a volcanic eruption. In 2021, 79 volcanoes erupted on earth, so eruptions happen quite often. Although volcanoes can destroy cities and landscapes, they are also an important part of the rock cycle.

Title 1

Some igneous rocks are full of beautiful crystals.

Once the lava leaves the volcano and cools down, the rock becomes solid again and is now called igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can also form right underneath the surface of the earth, as magma cools down. Many igneous rocks are quite beautiful and have visible crystals that formed during the cooling process.

Title 1

Many people have a pumice stone to help their dry skin.

A common igneous rock is granite, which is used to make sculptures and build buildings. Another igneous rock is pumice, which can remove the dead skin from your feet. Even though igneous rocks are hard, water and wind are powerful forces and can change them into a different type of rock
