Chalk Group
Imagine you have a big bag of flour. This flour is like the Chalk Group. Just like how you can make different types of cakes and biscuits from the flour, you can find different types of rocks in the Chalk Group.
Now, let's talk about how the flour is made. The flour is made from grinding wheat. In the same way, the Chalk Group was formed from millions of tiny sea creatures, called plankton, that lived in the ocean millions of years ago. When they died, their hard shells fell to the ocean floor and over time, they built up layers upon layers to form the Chalk Group.
When you look at the flour closely, you can see small specks that make up the flour. In the Chalk Group, you can also find small fossils of the plankton that lived in the ocean. Scientists can study these fossils to learn more about what life was like millions of years ago.
So, just like how flour can be used to make yummy things, the Chalk Group is important too because it contains valuable resources such as oil and gas. Humans also use the rocks from the Chalk Group to make things like cement and building materials.
