Sedimentary: rocks formed by cementation and compaction
Rock Types
Igneous Intrusive: rocks inside the volcano with big crystals
Igneous Extrusive: rocks outside the volcano with small crystals
Sedimentary Clastic: broken pieces of old rocks
Sedimentary Crystalline: liquid evaporates and formed crystal
Sedimentary Bioclastic: dead animals
Metamorphic Foliated: rocks have lines
Metamorphic Non-Foliated: rocks doesn't have lines

Rocks
Cementation: when layers get together

Sedimentary Rock : rock formed by differents types of sediments

Rock Types
Igneous Intrusive: formed inside volcano, small crystal

Igneous Intrusive: formed inside volcano, small crystal
Rock Cycle
The rock cycle is a process in which three type of rocks change one to another. By different process.
The magma melted inside the volcano than lava cools off. Then formed a solid rock called Igneous rock. Weathering moves by water, ice, and sand form a sediment rock. They burial together and compacted in three layers. Than cemented and formed a Sedimentary rock. They get hitted by heat and pressure.That change them into a Metamorphic Rock. Than melted back into the magma.
Rocks
Metamorphic rock: rock formed by heat and pressure.
Lava: liquid coming out the volcano

Solidification: when magma turns into a solid piece
Igneous Rock: rock formed when lava cools off

Erosion: move to another place by water and wind
Compaction: layers top bottom middle of sediments

Crystals and minerals
Luster:

Metallic: look like a mineral
Luster:

Metallic: look like a mineral
Non-metallic: doesn't look like a mineral
Color: what the mineral look like
