Nick A's review of Inside the Earth

I read the book called Inside the Earth by Joanna Cole. This book genre is Informational. This book is about inside the world. Like and volcano’s. There are three different types of volcano. Cinder Cone, Shield, Composite. Cement is made out of limestone and shale. Those are two types of rock. Some other rocks are marble, granite, slate, sandstone, basalt, obsidian, pumice, and quartzite. When you go under ground you have to go down FOUR LAYERS and those layers are 1. Soil 2. Sandstone 3.Shale 4.Limestone before you hit the bottom. I liked this book because it is very informational and I learned a lot about rocks and volcano’s and the earth. I would recommend this book to any one who wants to learn about the earth.
