E.SE.06.41 Compare and contrast the formation of
rock types (igneous, metamorphic, and
sedimentary) and demonstrate the similarities and
differences using the rock cycle model.
SWBAT list the three main rock types.
SWBAT compare and contrast the formation of the three
main rock types.
SWBAT demonstrate the similarities and difference using
the rock cycle model.

Igneous Rock
Return to main
Commonly called “fire rocks”
Formed underground by cooling of magma
Formed above ground by cooling of lava
Examples:
Granite
Pumice
Scoria
Obsidian
Metamorphic Rock
Return to main
Rocks have morphed from another type
Formed after extreme heat and pressure
Examples:
Schist
Gneiss
Sedimentary Rock
Return to main
Weathering and erosion turn rocks into sediment
Sediments settle into layers over time
Formed after long periods of time in lowest levels
Examples:
Sandstone
Limestone
Shale
Conglomerate

Weathering and Erosion
Return to main
Metamorphic or
Igneous Rock
Weathering and Erosion
Return to main
Rain
Wind
Continuous weathering
begins to break down the
rock into sediments
Weathering and Erosion
Return to main
Sediment can be carried
away by wind or water
and deposited
Weathering and Erosion
Return to main
As more and more rock
is weathered and
eroded, deposits begin
to form layers
Weathering and Erosion
Return to main
More layers result
in increased depth
and pressure
Weathering and Erosion
Return to main
The bottom most layer
eventually cements together to
form a new type of rock –
Sedimentary Rock
