The 3 types of Rocks : 

The 3 types of Rocks Metamorphic Rock- forms when heat or pressure causes older rocks to change into new types of rocks. Sedimentary Rock- forms when pieces of older rocks, plants, and other loose material get pressed or cemented together. Igneous Rock- forms when molten cools and becomes solid. Igneous & Metamorphic rocks cover 95% of the earth’s crust and Sedimentary rock covers 5% of it.

The Rock Cycle :

The Split Apple : 

The Split Apple Location: New Zealand-Tasman Bay on the South Island. How it got its formation: Came from a volcano eruption and it is in the middle of the ocean so the waves slowly eroded it. We infer this because it is formed of granite and granite is an igneous rock which comes from volcanoes and since it is in the middle of the ocean the waves slowly eroded it.
