Metamorphic Rocks

When igneous rock or sedimentary rock are subjected to extreme heat and pressure they change again into metamorphic rock. This forms deep in the crust to make specific minerals and rocks.

  • Marble
  • Quartzite
  • Amphibolite
  • Migmatite

Sedimentary Rock

Layered (They have lines)

Sedimentary rocks are formed from 1000s of years of sand, silt, and weathered rocks sit on top of each other and are compressed. The huge amount of compression is what creates thesse cool layered rocks.

  • Shale
  • Limestone
  • Coal
  • Chalk
Igneous Rock

Igneous rock is rock that is formed by lava cooling on the surface of the crust. This can happen at different levels and temperatures to create different kinds of rocks.

  • Gabbro
  • Granite
  • Granite
  • Obsidian
  • Pegmatite
