I
was magma deep within the Earth. Suddenly, I felt intense heat and pressure
surrounding me, compacting, until I solidified into a rock. What happened was
intense heat and pressure transforming me from liquid magma to solid rock, hence
my name. Next, I was changed into an igneous rock when I felt the Earth quaking
around me. I was shot to the surface in a volcanic eruption where I melted into
lava. Shortly after, I cooled quickly to become a shiny piece of slate. When I
melted back into a liquid it was like being set free from a cage, I could move
freely. After many years, I started to erode into tiny fragments. Finally, I was
transformed into a sedimentary rock when the tiny pieces of me were cemented and
compacted with other pieces of rocks and sand. Thinks of it like this, your body
is a glass sculpture. Imagine someone smashing you into millions of shards.
Next, they glue you back together with fragments of other glass sculptures that
look nothing like you used to. Millions of years later, I weathered and eroded
until I’m fragments again. A strong storm pushes me down a volcano where I
melted back into magma. The heat and pressure then transform me back into a
metamorphic rock.
