Once upon a time, near a volcano, there lived a family of igneous rocks. Their names were: Big rock, Medium rock, Happy rock, Tiny rock, etc. But there was only one rock, who was not happy. His name was Tiny rock. He only thought that he was not special enough.
One day he told his mother, ’’Mom, I think I’m not special enough.’’ Mom said, “You are special enough. You will see.’’ She smiled. Since Tiny rock could not understand his mother’s words, he said, ’’I will go on a long journey to find out why I’m not special and how to make myself special.’’
And so, the journey began. Midway it started raining and Tiny rock had to take cover, but it was too late, he had already turned into soil. Then the river washed him on to a beach. Tiny rock found that many types of sediment have been mixed along with him. Since it was very hot at the beach, he turned back into a rock. This time, there were many sediments that were inside him. Tiny rock knew about this form. He had read about it in his “rock-story” book. It was sedimentary rock.
Then he continued walking on the beach and he suddenly fell into a hole. ‘’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH HH!’’ he yelled. Then he found himself below the tectonic plates of the earth. He quickly searched his pocket for something that could help him. He found his shovel and pail, which his mother has given him on his eighth birthday. He started digging a tunnel. Since he was very tiny, it took a long time, you can say several thousand years. He also found that his form had changed, he was now a metamorphic rock.
When he got out, he found himself inside a volcano. The magma inside the volcano burned him and he also became magma. Then the volcano erupted, BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM, blasting magma all over and he landed outside. Then he started cooling down and became igneous rock again. He saw it was the same volcano, where he lived next to. He also realized that he is close to home. He quickly found his way home and told his mother all about his adventure. Then he smiled and said “Mother, I know I am special like other”.
Backstory: Read all about it!
Igneous rock forms when hot lava cools and hardens. This can happen in many different places on Earth, but one of the most common places is at a volcano. Example: granite
Sedimentary rock forms when pieces of sand start to pile on to each other and get stuck together when they are mixed with some water. Example: Sandstone
Metamorphic rock: Sometimes sedimentary and igneous rocks are subjected to pressures so intense or heat so high that they are completely changed and become metamorphic rocks. Example: slate
