Rocks Are Forever

Our planet earth is more than 2,000 million years old. We have just celebrated the Second Millenium which is 2,000 years and we think that is a long time!!! But it is nothing compared to the age of our planet.

Almost all of the earth's surface is made up of rock covered with a thin layer of soil. The oldest rocks are over 800 million years old and have been formed over the years from deposits of sand, clay, mud and the skeletons of tiny animals.
