Formation Process

[Verse 1]
Is your mind sedimentary
(Or to the contrary)
Does you mind meld
(In a metamorphosis)
Or quelled…
(Just like this)

[Bridge]
Heat and pressure
(Will you endure)
Whether you’ll weather
(Erosion pla plosion)

[Chorus]
Formation process
(Ingenious igneous)
Oh, oh the stress
(Metamorphic music)

[Verse 2]
Is your mind on fire
(Taken you higher)
Does you mind flow
(With all you know)
Ignition
(Of imagination)

[Bridge]
Heat and pressure
(Will you endure)
Whether you’ll weather
(Erosion pla plosion)

[Chorus]
Formation process
(Ingenious igneous)
Oh, oh the stress
(Metamorphic music)

[Chorus]
(Ingenious igneous)
Sedimentary sentiment
(Metamorphic music)

A SCIENCE NOTE

Rocks are categorized based on their formation process into three main types:

Igneous Rocks – Formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma or lava).
- Intrusive (Plutonic): Formed beneath the Earth’s surface (e.g., granite).
- Extrusive (Volcanic): Formed when lava cools quickly on the surface (e.g., basalt, pumice).
Sedimentary Rocks – Formed from the accumulation and compaction of mineral and organic particles.
- Clastic: Made from fragments of other rocks (e.g., sandstone, shale).
- Chemical: Formed from mineral precipitation from solutions (e.g., limestone, rock salt).
- Organic: Composed of plant or animal remains (e.g., coal, some limestones).
Metamorphic Rocks – Formed when existing rocks undergo heat, pressure, or chemical changes without melting.
- Foliated: Have distinct layers or bands (e.g., schist, gneiss).
- Non-foliated: Lack distinct layers (e.g., marble, quartzite).

Each type of rock can transform into another through the rock cycle, driven by geological processes like heat, pressure, weathering, and erosion.
