Looks at how sedimentary and igneous rocks are transformed by heat and pressure into such metamorphic rocks as marble, slate, and gneiss.

Looks at how such types of rocks as granite, lava, basalt, silica, quartz, and feldspar are formed from cooled molten rock.

Describes the natural transformation of one type of rock into others.

Soil looks at how different types of soil form, change, erode, and are used around the world.

Minerals are chemicals that are the building blocks of rocks. Metals, crystals, and gemstones are all minerals found in rocks. This interesting book describes how to identify minerals, where they can be found, the rock cycle process, the uses of minerals, and how they are mined.
