C-L 3 Pres
On our field trip to the Museum of Natural History, our class learned that there are three different types of rocks.
The first type of rock, metamorphic, is formed deep inside the earth. There, heat and pressure create these rocks over millions of years. Gneiss and granite are examples of this type of rock. Another type of rock, sedimentary, is formed at the bottom of oceans. Small pieces of sand, shells, and other materials build up in layers. These layers become cemented together over time and often contain fossils of small animals and plants. Examples of sedimentary rock are sandstone and shale. Lastly, igneous rock is formed from lava that hardens over time. Sometimes lava hardens quickly, but sometimes it hardens slowly over millions of years. In that case, large crystals may form in the rock. Granite is a type of igneous rock that is often used in the construction of buildings. In sum, metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous are different types of rocks that are created by entirely different processes.
