Rocks Part 1 Quiz

Rocks Part 1 Quiz explores the captivating field of petrology, the study of rocks and their origins. In 1969, scientists examined the first Moon rocks brought back by Apollo 11 and found they were surprisingly similar to certain volcanic rocks on Earth. This discovery showed how studying rocks can reveal the shared history of our solar system. Petrology helps us understand the processes that create different types of rocks and how they record Earth’s changing conditions. From molten magma that cools into solid stone to layers formed by pressure and time, each rock tells part of a much bigger story. The quiz brings this ancient science to life through fascinating insights and simple learning.
