3 Major Type Of Rocks

Igneous Rocks
Sedimentary Rocks
Metamorphic Rocks
 Igneous Rocks

• Comes from the Latin word
“ignis” means fire
• It is formed when magma
comes out to a volcano and
later cools down and solidifies
Two Types of Igneous Rocks
Intrusive Igneous Rocks

It is formed when magma cools
down and solidifies inside the Earth’s
surface.
Extrusive Igneous Rocks
It is formed magma erupts above
the Earth’s surface and solidifies

 Sedimentary Rocks

are formed when sediment is deposited
out of air, ice, wind, gravity, or water
flows carrying the particles in
suspension. This sediment is often
formed when weathering and erosion
break down a rock into loose material in
a source area.

 Metamorphic Rocks

rise from the transformation of
existing rock types, in a process
called metamorphism, which
means "change in form
 Metamorphism

alteration of the composition
or structure of a rock by heat,
pressure, or other natural
agency or DEFORMATION
