Did you know that rock formations take hundreds to thousands of years to form. In fact we just went to a rock formation of sandstone.sandstone is a rock made out of sand.it forms by having layer after layer.and then something like a river flows threw it and watches it away.and then the water stops and it leaves a giant crack in the rock. And then that sand dries and over hundreds of years it becomes rock and that is how sandstone is made. We climbed the sandstone. It was tricky to climb. because the sand on top of the rock was loose.because some o the sand did not get wet means it is still loose another way is the sand from the beach.which one is it.it is actually a trick question because it is both.but this one particularly was a sandstone that was made by sand blowing layer after layer.and then turned into stone.

There were two typse of sandstone where there was a smooth and a jaggid.the jagged sandstone was like an overhang except it was really spikey and it hurts if you hit it.i know that because i hit my hand on it and it hurt.and the smooth sandstone feels nice when you rub your hand on it and why the smooth sandstone is smooth is because the water went threw it.and since we are in mexico it means it barely ever rian`s. but when it did that rock got a lot of water to make it a rock.

Sandstone is amazing. These are just some cool facts about sandstone. I wrote this paragraph dedicated to my mother, a geologist.
