All rocks belong to one of three types of rocks

Igneous rock

Sedimentary rock

Metamorphic rock

I

When the molten rock is

above the Earth’s

surface, we call it lava.

When the molten rock is

under the Earth’s surface,

we call it magma.

Igneous rocksare formed when magma or lava cools

down.

What do we use granite for?

Multiple Choice

Igneous rocks are formed...

• when molten rock cools and solidifies

• under high pressure

• by erosion

• from sediment

Can you see the layers in this rock?

How many different layers can you count?

I

Sedimentary rockis formed when layers of small sediments are

compressed over a long period of time.

Igneous rockcan become sedimentary rockif it

breaks down into small pieces and forms layers.

Multiple Choice

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• Sedimentary rocks are formed from volcanic activity.
• By the cooling of magma.

• When small pieces of rock build up in layers over millions of years.

• Sedimentary rocks are formed by magic.
