2. 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

3. 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

6. 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

9. Metamorphic Rock
-Forms when pressure, temperature or chemical processes change existing rock
