2 Classifying Rocks 3 rock types Sedimentary Igneous Metamorphic

3 Sediment Rock fragments, minerals, or plant and animal remains that settle out of water or air

4 Sedimentary Rocks “that which has settled” Formed from sediments Sediments=rocks exposed to weather that have been broken down into very small pieces Formation depends on weathering/erosion Sediments packed into layers Cement together over time

5 Sedimentary

6 Sediments change into Rock by  Pressure  Cemented together by new minerals to form rock

7 Coal Sedimentary rock formed from remains of plants, bark roots, and other plant material that is buried and under pressure Contains NO minerals

8 Conglomerate Sedimentary rock with pieces of shells, rocks, minerals or other products that are larger than 2 mm cemented together with minerals.

9 Limestone Sedimentary rock made of shells and skeletons of ocean organisms. Over time the individual shells are no longer visible and become limestone

10 Sedimentary Rock and Wind Water movement: Larger sediment drops before smaller sediment Wind Direction : Cross- beds, Ripples, Mud Cracks
