How is soil formed step by step?
The next time you see a large rock, consider the following:Every drop of rain contributes to the rock's erosion;Movement and friction, plus action of organisms, help break the rock down further;The particles of rock created through these external forces create part of the soil;Dead plant matter and other organisms also contribute to the type and quality of soil;As soil is compacted under pressure, it begins the very long process of reforming into rock.

Where could dinosaurs be found?
Pfft, all over the world really, but I've read something about a "history" line in rocks. Apparently, fossils of dinosaurs can only be found below that line. Take Drumheller, Alberta, for example. The rock formations have lines on them. Many dinosaurs have been found in similar rock formations. It is rare to find any higher up on the rock. Most "rock" formations dinosaurs are found in aren't really solid rock, but sedimentary dust and debris piled up over the years(and years...and years...). So unless the fossil had been exposed a few decades ago, but then had dust and debris pile up on it for a short time, dinosaurs can usually be found in lower canyon-like rock formations. (I'm no expert, but I have been very interested in dinosaurs and over the years have collected quite a bit of information.)

How do geologists find oil?
They look for rock formations where oil would be found. They locate those underground rock formations using seismic equipment that bounces a sound wave off rock formations, and back to a receiver. Somewhat the same way that sonar is used to locate a submarine underwater.
Does sedimentary rock become metamorphic rock after millions of years?
Sedimentary rock can become metamorphosed after millions or hundreds of millions of years. Most geologic processes, like metamorphism, are extremely slow in human terms.
Why rocks are found in layers?
they are found in layers because over the millions of years they have formed over the top of each other and eventually formed a rock
