By Megan Molly and Dhara LIFE AS ROCKS

Igneous I am igneous rock and I was formed I was soon being transformed into a metamorphic or sedimentary rock. I can even be remelted into new rocks of my kind. When volcanoes erupt the melting lava touches the earths ground then one of my rock kind creates.

Metamorphic Rocks I am a Metamorphic rock and my cycle of becoming one starts like this. Well my name comes from the Greek meta and morph, so this is how it starts I was originally igneous or sedimentary, but due to the earths crust, were changed. Marble is an example of one sedimentary rocks then to a metamorphic rock.

Sedimentary Rocks I am a sedimentary rock and I am going to tell you about how I got started. My kind has fossils in them usually, some example of sedimentary are sand. Eventually most of the rock bits are sent flowing down the streams and rivers in the mountains. The bits of this rock are called sediments.
