Junior Geologist
The ground beneath our feet is not just made up of one
kind of rock; rather, there are sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and
metamorphic rocks, none of which are to be confused with minerals, gems, or

readers will discover how they affect everyday life, from their usage in common
household items to their impact on climate and topography.
