Types of rock There are 3 types of rock: Sedimentary Metamorphic Igneous 3 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003
Igneous rocks Some igneous rocks have small crystals. These have cooled quickly close to the surface. These are hard rocks. An example of this type of igneous rock is basalt. Some igneous rocks have large crystals. These have cooled slowly deep underground. These are hard rocks. An example of this type of igneous rock is granite. In igneous rocks the crystals are in a random order (no pattern). 4 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003
Granite has visible crystals. What differences do you notice between these two igneous rocks? Basalt 5 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003
The formation of igneous rocks Extrusive igneous rocks are cooled quickly so small crystals form (e. g. basalt). Sedimentary rocks volcano magma 6 of 25 Intrusive igneous rocks are cooled more slowly so large crystals form (e. g. granite). © Boardworks Ltd 2003

Basalt pillars These pillars were formed when lava cooled on the Earth’s surface. 9 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003
Sedimentary rocks These are made from layers of sediment. They are grainy and crumbly and may contain fossils. Examples of sedimentary rocks are sandstone and limestone. 10 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003

The formation of sedimentary rocks These were formed from layers of sediment which were squeezed together. rivers new deposits sea/lake/river land 12 of 25 layers of sediments getting older © Boardworks Ltd 2003

Metamorphic rocks show small crystals in layers (bands). Metamorphic rocks are hard and smooth. Examples of metamorphic rocks are slate and marble. 14 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003
Metamorphic rock - formation Metamorphic rocks are formed by the effect of extreme pressures and temperatures deep within the Earth. This alters the structure of the existing rock. 15 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003

Metamorphic rocks Continent collision causes metamorphism and huge folds like this one in Scotland. 18 of 25 © Boardworks Ltd 2003
Rock formation rocks are broken up by the action of weather volcano Igneous rocks basalt rises to surface where it cools rapidly rocks rise to surface by uplift and erosion sea Sedimentary rocks mudstone Igneous rocks granites slow solidification magma 19 of 25 transportation and deposition high pressure and temperature Metamorphic rocks slate and marble melt © Boardworks Ltd 2003
