3 TYPES OF ROCKS: 1.) IGNEOUS2.) SEDIMENTARY3.) METAMORPHIC

Formed when MAGMA or LAVA COOLS AND HARDENS (SOLIDIFIES)

1.

Examples: Obsidian & Granite

Page 5: Rocks & The Rock Cycle. Notes The Rock Cycle Notes Rocks - A solid, naturally occurring mineral or mineral-like substance.

Key Words: All types of rocks can be changes into igneous rocks by the COOLING and MELTING of any rock.

Page 6: Rocks & The Rock Cycle. Notes The Rock Cycle Notes Rocks - A solid, naturally occurring mineral or mineral-like substance.

Formed when rocks are WEATHERED and ERODED, sediments get COMPACTED and CEMENTED into solid rocks.

2. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

Page 7: Rocks & The Rock Cycle. Notes The Rock Cycle Notes Rocks - A solid, naturally occurring mineral or mineral-like substance.

Key Words:

WEATHERING and EROSION

COMPACTING and CEMENTING

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

Page 8: Rocks & The Rock Cycle. Notes The Rock Cycle Notes Rocks - A solid, naturally occurring mineral or mineral-like substance.

Examples: Shale & Limestone

SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

Page 9: Rocks & The Rock Cycle. Notes The Rock Cycle Notes Rocks - A solid, naturally occurring mineral or mineral-like substance.

Formed when existing rock is changes into new rock by THE HEATING OF THE ROCK AND PRESSURE FROM OTHER ROCKS AROUND IT.
