How do igneous rocks form?

• from tiny particles

• water and air help it form

• magma or lava cools and hardens

• heat/pressure

How are sedimentary rocks formed?

• Molten rock with earth

• Gas bubbles form and get trapped

• compacting and cemenation.

• heat/pressure

How are metamorphic rocks formed?

• heat/pressure causes buried rock to change into new rock

• formed to be used as tools

• does not form from heat and pressure

• can form fossils

What is weathering?

• wind and water changes rocks and the Earth's surfaces

• Rocks melted to a new rock

• The weather of the day

• building up a rock
