Humans Are Making New Rocks—Fast!

Did you know we’re literally making new rocks in just 35 years? Geologists found steel factory waste on England’s coast has fused into stone, trapping things like old can tabs inside. Normally, rocks take millions of years to form, but this man-made process is speeding things up like crazy. It’s wild to think our trash is now part of Earth’s geology—and it’s happening all over the world. The catch? It’s messing with coastlines and local wildlife. Nature’s rock cycle just got a human remix! #Science #EarthScience #Anthropocene
