TYPES OF ROCKS
Three Types of Rocks-
(Landforms Book Page 10-11)
• Sedimentary- (Like a sandwich) water moves bits
and pieces of rock, which sink and settle. As they
pile up they’re pressed into rock.
• Igneous- (Volcanoes) Rocks melt into liquid from
heat of the Earth and change into other rocks when
they cool
• Metamorphic- (Rub hands together) Heat and
pressure change sedimentary & igneous rocks into
new one
