    The oldest things on Earth are rocks, which cover the entire planet both above and below ground. There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rock forms from cooled magma or lava. Sedimentary rock layers together over time from compressed sand, mud, and pebbles. Metamorphic rock was originally other rock types that changed deep underground due to heat, pressure, and time into new forms. Rocks are ever-changing yet eternal parts of our planet.

    Rocks of the Earth!
    !!
    !! The oldest things on the planet are rocks. They cover the whole earth and are found
    !in cities, the country, in the oceans and lakes, and under the soil. !
    !!
    Most of the earths crust, which is the surface of the earth, is composed of igneous
    !!rock. Igneous
    rock is made from melted rock called magma which is found inside the earth.
    !When magma pushes
    cracks in the crust it is referred to as lava. This lava cools and
    !hardens and becomes through
    igneous rock. Examples of igneous rocks are granite and obsidian. !
    !!
    !! Another type of rock is called sedimentary. Sedimentary rock is composed of layers of
    !sand, mud, and pebbles. These layers of sediment evolved over many years at bottoms of
    !lakes and seas, then pressed together. Over time, the layers hardened and became stone.
    of sedimentary rock are limestone, made of shells, sandstone, where small grains
    !Examples
    !of! sand are visible.!
    !! A third type of rick is metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks began their lives as other
    !rocks. Then, over years and years, being buried deep in the ground, time, heat, and
    !pressure changed them into metamorphic rocks. Examples of metamorphic rock are marble
    !and quartzite. !
    !!
    live forever. They are the oldest objects on the planet, and forever change to
    !!becomeRocks
    new rocks over time.
