These are little pieces of rocks, pebbles, mineral grains, and shell fragments that eventually form rocks.

Name the layers of the Earth.
What is crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core?
100
The process of rocks changing from one kind of rock to another kind of rock over long periods of time.
What is the rock cycle?
200
This kind of igneous rock is formed when magma cools beneath the Earth's surface.
What is Intrusive igneous rock?
