Hey readers,

Check out these fun facts Sarah has to share with you for International Rock Day!

• All rocks fall into one of three categories: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
• Geology is the study of rocks
• Rocks have helped scientists figure out how old the Earth is. They think the Earth is 4.54 billion years old – that’s a super long time!
• Rocks have been used by humans for millions of years as tools and many other things.
• A pumice is a kind of rock that is so light it floats on water.

Thanks Sarah!
