• Rocks are classified by the way they are formed.
• Igneous rocks are formed when lava from volcanoes cools and hardens above earth’s surface or when magma cools and hardens above earth’s surface• Sedimentary rocks are formed when elements wear rock down into tiny particles of dust. They are moved around by wind, rain or water where they are compacted and cemented together to form layers.
• Metamorphic rocks are igneous or sedimentary rocks that change after being exposed to extreme heat and pressure.
• The Rock Cycle is when rocks undergo changes that make them turn into a different type rock.
• A person that studies rocks is called a Paleontologist.
Weathering
When rocks are broken down into smaller fragments.
Erosion
When rock fragments are moved by some force of nature.

When rock fragments are laid down in a new location.
Igneous Rock
Formed by cooling and hardening of hot liquid rock

Types of Metamorphic Rocks
Gneiss -
•Pronounced like the word “nice”.
• Grey or pink with dark streaks or layers. Glittery.
•Medium to course grained
• Is sometimes used as facing stone on buildings
Types of Metamorphic RocksSlate • Often grey
• Fine-grained
