HOW ROCKS ARE FORMED:
In this • space 'have • talked of

• •reed'ers something of .the .nattneel'
.• • laws that bind 'them and of their
-relations' with one anot'he'r, But
there is another factor, the..streta..
en which all :ereatures live: oi-IS10-.
gists tell us'.,et, the earths is a'
t
ball- of ;rock, .which 'judging' from'
its weight, size, . and motion;
molten in the interior at a depth
of about. 50 nines. Outside this
hot and' fluid core . are the rocks
as we knew theme in layersmuch
like the skin of an hien. It is
believed that the deepest down
are the oldest and those at t'ne

of only an ideal section and else-
where twisting, and '• folding have
displaced the rocks so that the
oldest is often on the 'surface.
• ;Earthquakes, • volcanic .. action,
lowering of the .land surfaces and'
raising'' of.' the sea bottoms have
contributed'- to this displacement.
So itis often a puzzle to find out
the, different ages' of the rocks at •

the rocks. Nowlet us look at "the
way they are formed. .. Some
rocks° are volcanic, laid down' as
molten lavas, Which'' were formed
by pressure in the interior of the
earth. Such rocks erely.never

posited as silt, sand, or• clay .in
water, ' 'usually in .•,,ayers. Sill
'other rocks were formed by corals.
or other animals. These are usue
ally in layers, oar• strata, and: both
are -usually, known 'as sandstones
or- limestones. '• Often ,after they
were. laid down they wereburied,
deeply; and 'subjected to ,pressure,
twisting the .strata and changing
their form. These pressure -chang-
