Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Some rounded pebbles were having a merry time near the river when they got immersed in the water. They reached the sea and were deposited under other substances (sediments). However, when they were discovered, they were no longer pebbles, but a single rock. One confused pebble asked, "What have we become, guys?"
2. Some granites were enjoying life when an earthquake occurred and buried them underground. Centuries later, they were brought up. One saw his reflection in the river and was shocked. What had he become?
3. There was a great forest...
Trees abounded in it...
A disaster occurred and they were buried.
When they were finally discovered, a tree shrieked: "No way. Why do I look so black and rock like? What have I become?"
4. A basalt was chatting with some mica and a ball of clay when a volcanic eruption occurred and buried them. When they reappeared on surface, they were all the same kind of rock! Obviously, they were delighted, but what had they become?

6. Two rocks were chatting about their ancestry. One said, "I was merely some grains of sand previously. But, you know, the lime present near me converted me to this state."
