What is a Rock? A rock is a naturally formed solid made of grains of one or more minerals. Rocks have all different kinds of colors, luster,and hardnest. The bottom of the ocean has rocks too. The moon has rocks also.

Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary are from form by pieces of sand in layers, under a lot of pressure. Sedimentary rocks formed when mud and sand are deposited in layers on the earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks are found covering a majority of the earth's upper crust. No new damage, more particles broken off. Rock that forms from material that has settled into layers is called sedimentary rock. Wind and water carry small bits of rock. Layers of these bits of become sedimentary rock. Click to add text

Sedimentary Rocks

Gypsum Gypsum is found in Carrara, Italy. How would you describe this sedimentary rock?

Metamorphic Rocks A metamorphic rock has been changed by hgih heat or preessure. Metamorphic rock forms deep in earth's crust. The pressure and temperature there change rock into metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are inside the earth.it was hot there. The ground above pressed down.the heat and pressure formed a metamorphic rock.
