Igneous rocks form when molten rock cools and hardens. Readers will learn how differences in composition and cooling form different types of igneous rocks. Chapters include graphic organizers to help explain topics such as mountain formation, volcanoes, and how igneous rocks fit into the larger rock cycle.

Stick and Stone are both lonely until Pinecone's teasing causes one to stick up for the other, and a solid friendship is formed.

Rock explores what rock is, where it comes from, how it's made, what its properties are, and what it is used for.

"Igneous rocks form when magma from Earth's core cools as it moves toward Earth's surface. Most of Earth is made of igneous rock, which is sometimes called "fire rock." In this text, readers learn the different kinds of igneous rock, how igneous rocks form, how igneous rocks fit into the rock cycle, and more. Captivating photographs show readers how beautiful igneous rocks are, while fact boxes provide readers with exciting additional information"--...

"When rocks change because of environmental conditions, the new rocks are called metamorphic rocks. A rock's chemical or physical makeup may change because of conditions such as temperature, stress, or pressure. In this book, readers will learn where metamorphic rocks are most commonly found, the different types of metamorphism, how metamorphic rocks are identified, and more. Full-color photographs depict these rocks in nature, and a helpful graphic...
