1 Igneous Rock Formed from magma or lava after it cools Intrusive ◦Cooling is slow beneath Earth’s surface ◦Large mineral crystals Extrusive ◦Cooling fast on Earth’s surface ◦Small mineral crystals, glassy How igneous rock forms...

2 Sedimentary Rock 3 sub-types: Detrital- Formed from compaction and/or cementation of rock pieces and mineral grains. Organic- once living/shell fragments compacted together. Chemical- Forms from the chemical depositing of materials that were once dissolved. How sedimentary rocks form...

3 Metamorphic rock Formed when rocks are changed into different kinds of rocks by heat and pressure deep beneath the surface of the Earth. Visible layers formed when minerals within the rock are lined up ◦Foliated- layered bands ◦Non-foliated- no bands How metamorphic rock forms...

4 Honors Extension: Think back to the different plate boundaries… Convergent cvc Convergent cvo Convergent ovo Divergent cvc Divergent ovo Transform On “yo” side, write the types of rocks you think could be found at each boundary and explain why. You can draw a picture as part of your explanation if you want. You could make 3 columns: Boundary, Rock Type, Explanation
