AGENDA
RESOURCES REQUIRED
WIF Rock(noun): any natural mass of mineral matter that makes up the earth’s crust is called a rock
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROCKS There are three different types of rocks : Igneous rock Sedimentary rock Metamorphic rock
IGNEOUS ROCKS When the molten magma cools, it becomes solid. Rocks thus formed are called igneous rocks or primary rocks there are two types of igneous rocks and are: Intrusive rocks Extrusive rocks Intrusive rocks: sometimes the molten magma cools down deep in side the earth’s crust they form intrusive rocks Extrusive rocks: when the molten magma comes out on the earth’s crust it cools down to be known as extrusive rocks
IMAGES OF IGNEOUS ROCKS
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS Rocks roll down, crack and hit each other and are broken down into smaller fragments these are known as sediments These loose sediments are compressed and hardened to form layers of rocks . These types of rocks are called sedimentary rocks Some examples of sedimentary rocks are shale, limestone , sandstone
Sedimentary rock
METAMORPHIC ROCKS Igneous and sedimentary rocks can change into metamorphic rocks under great heat and pressure Some of the examples of metamorphic rocks are : schist, gneiss , philtre

Q & A 1)WHAT ARE THE TWO TYPES OF IGNEOUS ROCKS 2)GIVE FEW EXAMPLES OF METAMORPHIC ROCKS 3)HOW ARE SEDIMENTARY ROCKS FORMED 4)WHICH TYPE OF ROCKS DO CHANGE OVER TIME TO METAMORPHIC ROCKS Answers
Answers 1 the two types of rocks are igneous rocks are extrusive rocks and intrusive rocks 2 marble, schist , hornfels are few of the examples of metamorphic rocks 3 when the sediments are compressed with many more sediments to form the sedimentary rocks 4 sedimentary and igneous rocks change into metamorphic rocks over time Q & A
