All About All The Different Rocks And Weathering!

Hi its Cleo. I will be talking about rocks with my friend Daisy! The three types of rock sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous. We  were also learning about Earths core. The 4 things that are in the core is the inner core, outer core, the mantle and the crust which we live on. The sedimentary rocks get blown away by the wind and get took away by ocean waves. Igneous is made by dried up magma and dried up lava. Metamorphic can create one rock to another through pressure. Sedimentary turns to limestone and limestone creates glass. Igneous makes granite for houses. Metaphoric makes marble which is used for sculpting. Weathering is quite amazing because it can do many things to rocks. In the desert rocks heat up in sun and expand but during the night the rocks shrink down, although when it rains the rock starts to crack or even split. Water and Nature can also split/crack rock only differentially, Water can slide through the cracks of a rock and when it gets really cold it freezes and expand therefor splitting the rock. Although when nature splits a rock it is usually caused because of the roots that spread out and crack the rock!
