Rocks and Minerals By, Alana Svensson
Sedimentary Rocks • They are formed by sand, mud, and rock bits pile up and form together. • They are formed in water such as rivers, lake, and oceans. • Some sedimentary rocks contain fossils that were formed over time.
Igneous Rocks • They are formed by magma/lava cooling inside or outside the earth. • When igneous rocks cool the minerals in the rock form crystals. • The igneous rocks that form outside the earth cools and hardens faster than the igneous rocks that form inside the earth.
Metamorphic Rocks • They are formed by pressure and heat and if they are heated a lot they can form into thin layers. • When weathering accrues rocks can turn into pebbles. • Wavy bands may accrue when they are heated a lot.
My Favorite Mineral This mineral is called Hematite. It is a mineral that is mostly found in igneous rocks. Hematite is my favorite rock because it is very interesting and I like it because it is found in igneous rocks and I like igneous the best.
