Rock Formation edit

There are three types of rocks.

Let's start with sedimentary rocks, they are first weathered and then eroted to be deposited into river banks and compacted and cementated after many layers of cement have been covering it. Well, there are three classified sedimantary rocks,organic, chemical, and clastic. Organic sedimentayr rocks are basically rocks formed from calcium and animal remains. They can easily be found in river banks,seas, and oceans. They later become fossiliferous, a fancy word for fossils. Then chemical rocks are formed when minerals crystallize from a solution(s)of minerals and water to become a rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.82.14 (talkcontribs) 22:46, 12 February 2007

A new article on the formation of rocks has recently been created: Rock cycle in kids perspective. But Wikipedia does not usually have articles on topics "in kids perspective" - we have one article per topic. The "kids perspective" article seems to cover much of the same material as this one, plus some miscellany. If it includes any details that don't appear here (or in related articles like lithification) they should be brought into this article. FreplySpang 02:07, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • On second thought, it should be merged to Rock cycle. I'll put this discussion there. FreplySpang 02:09, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
