📖 1. Types of Rocks

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Igneous Rock: Rocks formed from cooled and solidified magma or lava. Example: granite, basalt.
• Sedimentary Rock: Rocks formed from the accumulation and compression of mineral and organic particles, often in layers. Example: sandstone, limestone.
• Metamorphic Rock: Rocks that have been transformed by heat, pressure, or chemically active fluids without melting. Example: marble, slate.
• Magma: Molten rock beneath the Earth's surface that can cool to form igneous rocks.
• Lava: Magma that has erupted onto the Earth's surface, cooling to form igneous rocks.
• Foliation: The layered or banded appearance in some metamorphic rocks caused by pressure.
