Igneous Rocks Sedimentary Rocks
-forms from magma that cools and
solidifies in a process called
crystallization.
Classification of
Igneous Rocks
a) Intrusive Rock (Plutonic)
-form when magma cools slowly
below the Earth’s surface.
b) Extrusive Igneous Rock
-formed when magma reahes
the Earth’s surface a volcano
and cools quickly.
-are formed by the
accumulation of sediments.
Classifications of
Sedimentary Rocks
a) Detrital Sedimentary Rock
-are sometimes referred to
as clastic sedimentary rocks
because they are made up of
clasts or rock fragments.
b) Chemical Sedimentary Rock
-formed by precipitation of
minerals from water.
Precipitation when dissolve
minerals come out water.
 Common
Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphic Rocks
-are made by either heating up or a) Foliated Rocks
squashing the Earth’s crust. They -are rocks that are objected
are often found in mountainous subjected to heat and
region. pressure.

b) Nonfoliated Rocks
Classification of -are rocks that has not been
subjected to heat and
Metamorphic Rocks pressure.
a) Foliated Texture
-is formed when minerals
recrystallize at right angles to
the direction of force.

b) Nonfoliated Texture
-has no banded texture and
resembles a coarse- grained
igneous rock.
