An Earth Cache in Compton Park
Hello. I’m Earth, or Mother Earth as some call me. I want to talk about my three groups of rock children.
My rock children are not all the same, even though I treat them equally - I am quite the Egalatarian!
I have three main types, or classes, of rock children. I call them Metamorphic, Igneous and Sedimentary: the differences among them have to do with how they were formed. Let me explain.
Meet the first of my children: Igneous
Igneous children were formed when magma (molten rock deep within me) cooled and hardened. Sometimes the magma cooled inside me, and other times it erupted onto my surface from volcanoes (in this case, I called it lava). When lava cooled very quickly, no crystals formed and my children looked shiny and glasslike. Lovely! Sometimes gas bubbles were trapped in them during the cooling process, leaving tiny holes and spaces in the rock. They could be called Empty Heads!! But I am not biased.
Examples of my Igneous children include Basalt and Obsidian. Don't those names sound strong!
My next batch of children are Metamorphic
My Metamorphic children were also formed under my surface, but from the metamorphosis (change) that occurred within me due to intense heat and pressure (like squeezing them hard). These children often have ribbon-like layers and may have shiny crystals, formed by minerals growing slowly over time, on their surface. I love them, too!
Examples of my Metamorphic children are Gneiss and Marble. Aren’t they lovely names?
My third batch of children are Sedimentary
My Sedimentary children need special attention. They were formed differently. They happened when particles (I call them my sediment) of sand, shells, pebbles, stones, and other fragments of material formed together: they were born gradually. The sediment accumulated in layers and over a long period of time hardened to become my rock children. Generally, my sedimentary children are fairly soft and may break apart or crumble easily. You can often see sand, pebbles, or stones in them, and they are usually the only children that contains fossils. So, you see why I think they need special attention.
Examples of my Sedimentary children are Conglomerate and Limestone. Such descriptive names, they are.
Now have a look at my rock child here.
1. Which one of my three child groups do you think they belong to?
2. Which example name best suits?
3. Describe (gently now) in your own words how these rocks look like today – there are lots of things you could say – maybe just a few will do.
Take of photo of yourself OR your GPS to show a view of GZ. Include it in your message, but please do not post it in your log, it might give too much away.
When you have your responses to my three questions above, please MESSAGE them and your photo to the CO. I hear he is a bit fussy and doesn’t deal with email very well. 
. He will contact you once he reads your MESSAGE. But you can log your find in the meantime, and just say that you have MESSAGED your answers to the CO. I am OK with that!
Thanks for dropping by and saying hello to one of my rock children.
