Rocks on Earth
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic
On or Below Earth’s Surface
On Earth’s Surface
Below Earth’s Surface
• Means FIRE in Greekforms when molten rock cools and
turns to solid rock
Igneous Rock
Cools below Earth’s surface
Cools above Earth’s surface
Granite Basalt
sediments
Sedimentary Rock
Animation
Rock is weathered
Sediments are eroded
Sediments are deposited
Sediments are cemented together
Deposition
• means: to change formmeta = changemorph = shape
Rocks change because of extreme heat & pressure below Earth’s
surface
Metamorphic
Animation
Unique Moon Rocks• NO sedimentary rocks
BecauseNO atmosphere NO liquid water
No wind No weather
