Do rocks talk or are you crazy?

Rocks can talk, but it is very rare. This is very rare since rocks have to be sad to talk to humans. So it is normally good if they don't talk to you since they are happy, but sometimes they are angry.

What did most early humans do?

Most early humans were hunter-gatherers, meaning they relied on hunting animals and gathering plants for food. They lived in small communities, made simple tools, and migrated in search of resources like food and water. They also developed basic forms of language, art, and social structures.


What do Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks have in common?

It is more likely that igneous and metamorphic, or igneous and sedimentary rocks would have something in common than sedimentary and metamorphic. The reason is because the processes involved in making metamorphic rocks is completely different than the processes needed to make sedimentary rocks. Only high temperature, high pressure minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, amphibole can withstand these kinds of conditions. Take quartz and feldspar, two of the most abundant minerals found in sedimentary rocks, these minerals would not be found in abundance in metamorphic rocks because they are not high temperature, high pressure rocks. But the most simple answer is that all the major groups of rocks are made of minerals. Metamorphic has high pressure and Igneous does to and both made from a particle called magma.
