Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary Rock

By: Tyler Mclachlan

Metamorphic Rocks

How metamorphic rocks form

• These rocks are physically deformed and chemically changed due to extreme temperatures and pressures.
• Uplift and erosion help bring metamorphic rock to the Earth's surface.
• Common metamorphic rocks: slate, marble, and gneiss

Igneous Rocks

How igneous rocks form

• Known as the Fire Rock
• They are formed above ground and underground:
• Underground, they are formed when magma deep within the Earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly they become igneous rocks.

How igneous rocks form continued...

• Igneous rocks are formed when volcanoes erupt. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.
• Common Igneous rocks: basalt, quartz, and hornblade

Sedimentary Rocks

How sedimentary rocks form

• Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension.
• Common sedimentary rocks: limestone, shale, and sandstone
