Rocks are made from dirt and minerals hardening after time from heat and pressure. Sedimentary rock is made from sand and sea animals. Volcanic rock is made from the lava from volcanoes. Metamorphic rock is sedimentary and volcanic rock that has been changed due to heat and pressure after the original rock was created.

How do source rocks affect the beach color?

Source rocks can influence beach color through the minerals they contain, which can vary in composition and color. For example, beaches with a high presence of iron-rich source rocks may have a reddish or orange hue due to iron oxide minerals in the rocks. The erosion and weathering of source rocks contribute to the sediments on the beach, impacting its color.
