Rocks Part 4 Quiz

Rocks Part 4 Quiz explores igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks and how they reveal the Earth’s fascinating history. In Hawaii, lava flows from volcanic eruptions can be seen cooling and solidifying almost like time frozen in motion. These rocks truly come from fire, forming new land that slowly transforms the landscape. Sedimentary rocks, in contrast, preserve layers called strata, which record millions of years of Earth’s past climates and environments. Metamorphic rocks show how heat and pressure reshape existing stones into something new and beautiful. Understanding these three main types of rocks helps uncover the story of our planet, from molten beginnings to layered landscapes, while making geology engaging and surprisingly easy to appreciate.
