BEDROCK IN REAL LIFE: What is bedrock in real life?

If you’ve ever dug a hole in your yard, then you’re probably familiar with the concept of bedrock. Bedrock is the solid rock beneath Earth’s surface and it’s what you find when you get to a certain depth. You may also have heard of it as “solid rock,” “unconsolidated material” or simply as “the bottom.”

Bedrock is the solid rock beneath Earth’s surface.

Bedrock is the solid rock beneath Earth’s surface. It forms the Earth’s crust and is also called basement rock, as it’s the foundation of all other rocks found above ground. Bedrock can be seen in many places around the world, including mountains and ocean floors.

Bedrock forms when lava cools and hardens, which can take millions of years to happen depending on how hot or cold the lavas were when they cooled down at different times in history–and how much pressure was put on top of them during that process!

It’s called “bedrock” because it’s what you find when you dig below the top layer of soil or gravel.

When you dig below the top layer of soil or gravel, you’ll find bedrock. That’s why it’s called “bedrock.” It’s the solid rock beneath Earth’s surface that supports buildings and other structures.

The type of bedrock varies depending on where you are in the world–because different types of rocks were formed at different times during Earth’s history, depending on how old they are (and thus how hot or cold they were when they formed).

There are three main types of bedrock: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.

Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of magma (or molten rock) deep underground. The Earth’s crust is made up of many different types of igneous rock including granite and basalt.

Metamorphic rocks are created when other rocks are changed by heat, pressure and chemical reactions when they’re buried deep within the Earth’s crust or subjected to intense temperature changes during mountain building processes such as continental collisions (such as those that occurred in our early planet’s history). Some examples include gneisses which contain minerals with more than one chemical composition due to their metamorphosis; schists which contain platy minerals like mica sheets; slates with interlocking grains called clays washed into layers by water erosion; quartzites formed from sandstone beds under intense pressure at high temperatures leading them into becoming hardened quartzite conglomerate beds before being uplifted again later on – these days we call these unconformities because they show up as gaps between layers where no deposits appear despite seeming like they should have been deposited there originally!

Igneous rocks form when magma cools and becomes solid.

When magma cools and becomes solid, it’s called an igneous rock. When magma cools on Earth’s surface, it forms volcanic rocks like basalt or obsidian. But if the cooling happens within the crust of our planet rather than at its surface, then you get a different kind of igneous rock called gabbro (or “basaltic gabbro”).

Gabbro is made up mostly of magnesium-rich minerals like pyroxene and olivine; these minerals are denser than most others found in Earth’s crust because they have more iron in them than silicate minerals do. This means that gabbro often sits deeper underground than other types of rocks do–and because these dense minerals make up most of its mass, they also make this type of rock heavier than most other kinds!

Metamorphic rocks form when other types of rocks are changed by heat, pressure and chemical reactions deep within the Earth’s crust.

Metamorphic rocks form when other types of rocks are changed by heat, pressure and chemical reactions deep within the Earth’s crust. The heat and pressure can come from the Earth’s core or from volcanic activity above it. When these forces act on a rock, they change its mineral content and texture, transforming it into a new mineral or rock type.

The metamorphic process can take millions of years before the resulting metamorphic rock is exposed at Earth’s surface through erosion processes like wind or water erosion (which removes loose sediments) or glacier movement (which carries away large chunks of land).

Sedimentary rocks formed when materials like sand or mud were pushed together and cemented over time.

You might be wondering what sediment is, and how it can possibly form rocks. Sediments are loose particles of rock and minerals that have been eroded by wind, water or ice. They can be made up of sand, mud or even shells! Sedimentary rocks are formed when these sediments are pushed together by wind, water or ice and cemented over time. The process of cementing happens when minerals in the ground come together to form new compounds that hold everything together tightly enough so that it doesn’t fall apart again (the same reason why concrete holds up buildings).

You can find bedrock in many places around the world.

You can find bedrock in many places around the world. For example, it’s found at the bottom of deep oceans and on land. You may have seen pictures of people diving for fossils in rock beds that were created millions of years ago by ancient sea creatures or dinosaurs.

Bedrock is also often found in deserts and mountains, where it can be exposed due to erosion from wind or water over time (or sometimes even volcanic activity). And finally, there’s bedrock on the ocean floor–this kind of bedrock is called seabed sedimentary rocks!
