The first rock we are talking about is igneous. Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of magma.
Hi there! We will be learning about the different types of rocks.
Igneous Rocks
Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools and solidifies above the Earth's crust.
Igneous rocks are either intrusive or extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies under the Earth's crust.
Sedimentary Rocks
Next, we will talk about sedimentary rocks. These rocks are the most common type of rock on the Earth's surface.
They are formed by the compaction of sediments. Sediments are loose materials like minerals and organic remains.
Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks are known as the fossil rock. These rocks have different layers throughout the rock.
Metamorphic Rocks
Lastly, we will learn about metamorphic rocks. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that are made when a lot of heat and pressure act on another type of rock that changed it into a new form..
Metamorphic Rocks
Metamporphic rocks are known as the "changed rock" because they were originally a different rock that just changed into a new one.
