Our life Rocks!
By: Maggie, Caroline S. and Shannon
Izzy Igneous
• Hi I am Izzy Igneous and I live in the crust of
the earth. To find my exact neighborhood it is
in the surface in areas of current or past
volcanism or in uplifted and eroded areas of
past plutonic intrusions, deep underground
nearly anywhere, or in areas of past or present
glaciation, where my daughters Grace Granite
and Olivia Obsidian rock have been living with
me. I then mix with my sister, Sydney
Sedimentary and we run into each other and
then get on our ways.
• Weathering and Erosion has EVERYTHING to
do with Sydney and I meeting up again.
Through weathering and erosion of me. I am,
exposed to weathering processes at the
surface, breaks into smaller pieces. Erosional
processes transport these pieces to a place of
deposition where they build up, layer on layer.
Eventually the compaction caused by the
weight of the sediments above reduces the
amount of space and water between particles.
In this process of rock formation known as
lithification, cementing minerals are formed out
of the slowly disappearing fluids, which are
saturated with mineral components. Once
cemented together, it is now Sydney. Quinn
Quartz sandstone is an example of the

Sydney Sedimentary
• Hi, I am Sydney Sedimentary. I am the sister
of Izzy Igneous and Maddy Metamorphic, and
am the Mother of Sandy Sandstone and Shelly
Shale. I love to travel especially in Australia,
that is where you will probably find me. My
grandmother Suzy Sedimentary and my Mom
Sadie Sedimentary helped build the Grand
Canyon. Exploring is my passion if you go in
my house you will find shells, bones, leaves,
stems and other remains of living things.

• Sedimentary rock can be metamorphosed by:
a) exposure to heat by close proximity to a
heat source such as a plutonic intrusion; b)
from deep burial pressures; c) from directed
pressure and heat from mountain building
processes; d) chemical changes from
exposure to heated fluids, the fluids heated by
a plutonic intrusion. Metamorphism of
sedimentary rocks can result in a realignment
of mineral constituents, recrystallization, or
new chemical compositions.

Maddy Metamorphic
• Maddy Metamorphic here, I love to change
which represents my name. I love old
mountains which is where I live and where I
raised my wonderful rocks (daughters) Gabby
Gneiss, Sammy Slate and Quinn Quartzite. I
also love to go to beaches, which is were I
meet up with Izzy Igneous, but I will meat up
with Sydney in about a million years.

• Metamorphic rocks become igneous rocks by
melting from heat and pressure, remnants of
which may cool from melt (magma) and
become components Metamorphic rocks
become igneous rocks by melting from heat
and pressure, remnants of which may cool
from melt (magma) and become components
of igneous rock.
