Types of Rocks

Sedimentary Rocks

Metamorphic RocksIgneous Rocks

Sedimentary Rocks rock that forms from sediment

• Wind and water break down the earth• This is the process of weathering.

• Layers are formed and build up• Pressure and time turn the layers to rock

• Bits of sediment settle in lakes and rivers• This is the process of Deposition.

11

Fossils are found in sedimentary

rock.

Igneous Rocks – forms when lava or magma cools and hardens

• Fire Rocks

Metamorphic Rocksrocks that form when sedimentary and igneous

rocks change under pressure and heat

• Rocks that have changed• They were once igneous or

sedimentary• Pressure and heat changed the rocks

• Rock cycle – the changing of rocks over time from one type to another
