rocksTypes Example Characteristics Uses

Metamorphic

Rock

• rock that has been change by heat and pressure

• make statues• jewelry

IgneousRock

• rock that was once melted but has cooled and hardened

• building materials•computer chip

Sedimentary

Rock

• forms from material that has settled into layers

• building materials•computer chip

Marble

Pumice

Limestone

Rock cycleMetamorphic Rocks:

Marble

Quartzite

Slate Sedimentary Rocks:LimestoneBrecciaRed sandstone

Igneous Rocks:ObsidianPumice

Wind and water canbreak up metamorphic rocks to form sedimentary rocks.

When sedimentary rocks areput under heat and pressure,metamorphic rocks can form.

Wind and water canbreak up igneous rocks to form sedimentary rocks.

Sedimentary rocksmelt to form igneous rocks.

Heat and pressurecan change igneousrocks intometamorphic rocks.

When metamorphicrocks melt, they formigneous rocks.
