1 All About Rocks

2 There are 3 types of rocks: -Igneous rocks -Sedimentary rocks -Metamorphic rocks

3 Igneous rocks are created within the earth’s crust. Magma (molten rock) cools and hardens making igneous rocks.

4 Metamorphic rocks are formed when existing rocks are changed due to heat or pressure.

5 Sedimentary Rocks are made of sediment, tiny grains of sand, clay, or bits of other rocks. The sediment settles at the bottom of lakes, rivers, or oceans, and slowly hardens over time.

6 The Rock Cycle
