Soil:
      -this is used for crops that gets us food

Climate:
      - if it's always hot or always cold then people won't want to live there

- 3 types of rocks : igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
-each type of rock belongs to the cycle

Igneous rock- forms when molten rock cools and hardens
- most people don't want to live around these rocks because it comes from volcanoes
Sedimentary rock- forms from compaction and segmentation
Metamorphic rock- forms when any rock type is changed
