I am a piece of igneous rock sitting on top of a mountain. I
used to be hot molten rock before I rose through the crust to the earth’s
surface and cooled rapidly and crystallized to a hard rock. Since I cooled at a
faster rate due to the low mountain temperatures I formed fine grained rock or
aphanite, I lost much of my gas to the atmosphere. Since am old over the
mountain and constant eruptions
happening above me, I know one day I will
suffer intense pressure and heat and my grains will be compressed and cemented
thus increase hardness to a metamorphic rock. When this mountain erupts again I
will be split in pieces and over time I will weather to form small particles,
since many rivers emanate from the mountain, I will ultimately fall at the sea
where we will pile up and press to form sedimentary rock. It’s all part of our
cycle
