Iron is a silver-grey metal that quickly rusts when exposed to air and water. It is responsible for the red colour in many of our rocks and the deep red sands of the Australian deserts. Iron is not usually found in pure form within rocks, instead it is combined with oxygen in ore minerals such as hematite (from the Greek word meaning 'blood ...

Sedimentary rocks form from sediments worn away from other rocks. Metamorphic rocks occur when heat and/or pressure impact other rocks.
