Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, sentence 16

People have always built with local stone, so old towns often show the local geology, like the honey-coloured limestone of Bath or the granite of Aberdeen.

Who acts: People, old towns · What happens: build, show, colour · To what, where: local geology

This is a sentence of the lesson «Sedimentary and metamorphic rocks» of the geography course of Mova's primary school.
