25
Igneous Rock
• Igneous rock is formed by the cooling of magma.
• Surface can be as smooth as glass or individual crystals may be large enough to see by eye.
• Crystals seem to interlock like a puzzle
9/11/2017
26
Sedimentary
• Formed by Tiny rock pieces cemented together
• Can contain fossils
• Can feel individual sand or pebbles
• Can be crumbly
• Layers

27
Metamorphic
• Formed by high heat and/or high pressure of the earth
• Often may see bands, like the rock was pressed together.
