Getting to know Soil, Rocks and Minerals

We the Global Explorers have recently been exploring about Soil, Rocks and Minerals (SRM) and would like to share some interesting facts with you:

• There are more than fifty types of rocks.
• Just like we have a Life-cycle, there is a also Rock-Cycle which is the slowest cycle on Earth.
• There are more than 2,000 minerals found on Earth.
• Almost everything in our homes are made up of minerals.
• Nearly 100 tonnes of gold -bearing rocks have to be mined to produce just 1Kg. of gold.

We also saw an amazing and fun video which is all about Rocks. We really enjoyed the song and got a few ideas about hoe we can present our work.


The link for the video is attached here. Watch and see how amazing the song really is:

I, Daksh Monga, as part of my research on SRM have found out about these two international organisations working for the conservation of SRM.
