    The document discusses the layers of the Earth, types of rocks, the rock cycle, and fossils. It describes the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core. It explains that sedimentary rock is formed from compressed sediment, metamorphic rock forms from heat and pressure, and igneous rock forms from cooled magma. The rock cycle shows how the different rock types can transform into each other over time. Fossils form from the preserved remains of ancient plants and animals, and can be trace fossils, casts and molds, or true form fossils.

    Earth's

    Rock Layers
    and Fossils
    Layers of the Earth
    The earth is made up of
    layers.
    The crust- Is made from solid
    rock.
    The mantle- Is made of
    magma.
    Outer Core- Is made of liquid iron and
    metal
    Inner Core- Is made of solid iron and
    metal
    Types of Rock

    Metamorphic Sedimentary Igneous


    Rock Rock Rock
    Metamorphic Rock

    Metamorphic rocks are formed


    by the high temperature and
    pressure inside the earth.
    Sedimentary Rock

    Sedimentary rock Is formed


    when sediment is compressed
    in layered and hardened.
    Igneous Rock

    Igneous rocks are formed by hot


    magma that has cooled over time.
    Rock Cycle
    Sedimentary rock Igneous rock erodes into
    turned into sediment which turns into
    metamorphic rock when sedimentary rock
    but under heat and
    pressure.

    Metamorphic rock becomes magma,


    erupts and cools Into Igneous rock.
    Fossils
    Fossils are the remains of plants
    and animals who lived In the
    past. They are often preserved
    In sedimentary rock and other
    substances.
    Types of Fossils

    Trace Fossil Cast and True Form
