Located in this hub of land is the House of Refuge. Initially, the House of Refuge was used as a light house to help guide the incoming ships to port. Now, this historic land has turned into a museum that is filled with a bounty of sediment rock, particularly limestone.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition of material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water. As these rocks are exposed to erosion, they can have many different layers and vary in a wide variety of sizes, both large and small. Limestones in particular, are harder sedimentary rocks composed of calcium carbonate or dolomite and is helpful because it is used to make cement.
Traveling coasts, we venture to Hawaii, an island filled with Volcanoes. Volcanoes, which are a mountain or hill, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas being erupted from the earths crust, produce a wide variety of rocks, particularly ingenous rocks and metaphoric rocks. Ingenous rocks form from the cooling of magma, and metamorphic go through a physical/chemical change when they are subjected to the mass amounts of heat and pressure.
