i went to a park and found actual volcanic rocks.from hawaii
i went to hawaii and i found a real rock to
yah right none of Hawiis valcanos have exsploded in years.
In Aquenes' defense, there are several active volcanoes on the Hawaiian islands (Kilauea, Mauna Loa and Haleakala are all considered "active", and I could be missing some). That means gas and lava and the works. They aren't constantly exploding, but there are places where you can go see flowing lava, and new volcanic rock is always being formed.
Even if the Hawaiian volcanoes were all dormant or extinct, the islands are made of volcanic rock, so it would be weird to find any other kind of rock there.
volcanios are shocking how did u get the rock hope u have fun
True.....but there are still many volcanic activity going on! It's possisble that there are still some remains around!
this is awesomeness. i never knew this before :)
its a rock
it actcually comes from a seed under the earth i learned anout it last year in earth science and my grandparents saw some in hawii
I have always been a fan of volcanic rock!
These rocks are called Concretions. They are commonlly found near volcanoes, where they are shaped.
I love volcanic rocks.
That's interesting once I went to hawaii and climbed up a volcanoe
Its a coral
I haave been a stone for millions pf years, waiting to give my story to those who find me
they can be found anywhere where there is a valcano but i am not surprised that you did
in hawaii or what other state?
I found vocanic rocks when me and my family went to Hawii and they were really cool
Hawaii used to be a volcano. most islands were from volcanoes.
i think that is kind of bacteria
volcanic rock is not a bacteria. what are you on???
This is volcanic rock from the volcano era of reptilians.
i think they are a type of rock that people carved cause it does'nt look like someone would have MAGICALY just found it!!!!!!
SLP14
SLP14- i think its a ROCK!!!!! [from IDK were]
MN a91- i think its an EGG made out of ROCK 2!!!!!!
werid i think the one in the middle looks like a baby.
no it looks like a baby
i think it might be a fossilized rock and crystal or something
wat is the picture of? is it a rock? They look cool because they are in cool shapes!
looks like popcorn
it does look like popcorn
you never know that something that big could be important but know i know
you look like popcorn!!!
i wanna go to hawaii and find a cool volcano rock thing too, i hope to do that in the future
sand babies I found some on Fox Island in WA.
there's a pregnant lady!
I thought it was native arts at first lol !!
native arts are cool! and it does kind of look like native arts. thats weird...........
it kinda looks like a person
Reminds me of forms left in areas of the farm I grew up on. Amazing how nature is it's own artist.
It looks like across between a bacteria and a rock...
I find pertty rocks in my bakyard they really shiny :) could they be speshial rocks?? I think so. I like to pretend im harry potter with the scorcers stone!!! it really fun.
they are awesomely cool. They gray one looks like a penguin, the small brown one looks like a seal.
It looks like a woman holding her baby child. It also looks like bread dough.
see, i also thought it looked like a woman and her child, or at least her being pregnant. some of the other rocks are hard to place as to what they look relativly like...
why would you think she has a baby or she is pregnant it doesn't make sense?
sea shell or rock?
well katie i would prefer a sea shell beecause theycan be used ffor all sorts of stuff like decoration
What on earth is everyone talking about? They definitely look like a turtle sitting next to the shell it just came out of and a bunch of cauliflower.
I went to Hawaii and found volcanic rocks that were still so hot we had to pick them up with a leather glove
the silver one looks like weaven bread whole weat at a bakery
fasinating history.the rocks are reallly weird shape you could make them into humans. that one looks like a mother and baby.
it looks very creepy!!!!! and uhm.........they have funky clours so not my style!!!!!!!!
I think that this sacred object is a relic from ancient times. The colors speak to me in a way that I cannot define. the sumptuous curves of the rock look to be carved by hand when really they are naturally made. THIS FASCINATES ME!!!!!! and they also boooorrrreeeee me to death!!!!!!!!!
Shapes are great! Which looks like an eroding dinosaur egg? What about a pregnant women? Which do you think is petrified poop? It's like looking at clouds - what do you see?
what an object this object is awesome. it shows tuxture and has an oblity to show off
I like the labels, but sometimes they get a little long. Maybe if you used bright colors people would notice them more :p
they are so cool!!!! they are just so pretty :)
i was just wondering how do you grow a stone?
The rocks are very pretty and they look as if they were crystalized. Rocks are cool, people should collect rocks a nd find out more about them. I would like to learn more about rocks like how do they get were they are and how they get that pretty form. ROCKS ARE KEWL.
Love,
Darrien
hey this sounds cool. maybe if people started looking around a little bit hardeer we would find more of them
In Hawaii [wiikiki beach]. I saw a rock strangly like that.
it was amazing!
Volcanic rock has always interested me when i learned about it in my science class!!!!! have you ever smelt it?? I love the scent! one time in class we got to break open a rock and it had very pretty colors. i couldn't take my eyes off it! InTeReStInG!!!!!! ((: FaCiNaTiNg <3
it appears to be an interestingly different kind of sedimentary rock, one with a base.
rocks are cool!!!! rocks are fun!!!!! eat,sleep,breath, learn about rocks.
Is one of them an egg?
i think it's kinda gross about that man with a tree in his lung. eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! :(-D (thats an emoticon of a guy with his toungue stuck out)
i found a agaite at a camp i went to, that is near Lake Superior, and we were learning about all kinds of rocks and i learned that the rock with a magnetic fouce is a magnite. we learned about how rocks are formed and how the layering of lava can form special kinds of rocks that are very fragile and flack off sometimes.
Volvanos are very interesting when it comes to rock formation I can tell you that. Sometimes the lava will form a special type of rock called Pumice. Pumice is a rock with a very low density, and even floats on water!
i have found a lot of petrified wood lately it is cool
I notice that some of the rocks might be formed from some bubbles because they might come from the ocean.
I was in Hawiii onceand there is a rock that I have. its gray like the rocs from minisota. "rock on!"
there are rocks in my backyard. I go digging for them sometimes and pretend I'm in a volcano and the floor is lava.
i think it looks like a lumpy leg
The amalgamtations are very interesting and seem almost...formed, not naturally occurring. The slate grey resembles an abstract Buddha. Maybe the Earth is enlightened?
We have a school garden and I found 2 polished rocks, but they were small.
Interesting how knowledge can take something we see every day and make us realize how special and intricate it really is.
It looks like a mother holding her new baby
