Types of Rocks Write on RIGHT Side Credit: MineCraft

What is a Rock -Mineral: a naturally occurring inorganic solid (Not living) -Rock: a natural occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals -Divided into THREE major classes: -Igneous -Sedimentary -Metamorphic

Igneous Rock -Igneous rock forms when magma or lava cools and hardens to become solid -Rock that cools below Earth’s surface is called intrusive -Rock that cools on Earth’s surface is called extrusive -The longer the cooling takes the more the crystals grow

Sedimentary Rock -Sedimentary rock forms when minerals (that form from solutions or sediment from older rock) get pressed and cemented together -Pressed is when pressure from the weight above pushes sediment and minerals together -Cemented is when minerals dissolved in water solidify between the sediments -The different types of sedimentary rock are named according to the materials that they are made of
