This document discusses different types of rocks and where they are found. It describes rocks as being hard or soft, shiny or dull, smooth or rough, and various colors. Sedimentary rocks form from layers of sediment joining together, metamorphic rocks form from changes caused by pressure and heat to other rocks, and igneous rocks form when melted rock cools and hardens. Rocks are used for building, decoration, instruments, and even pets, chalk, and toothpaste. Rocks change size through erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, wind, and human activity. The three main types of rocks are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
