Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.]]> 2018-01-26 17:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/304803/1gi90rzzs2x7/wish/225162108 304803 https://padlet.com/304803/1gi90rzzs2x7/wish/225163203 Rock that has formed through the deposition and solidification of sediment, especially sediment transported by water (rivers, lakes, and oceans), ice ( glaciers ), and wind. Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers, and frequently contain fossils. Note : Limestone and shale are common sedimentary rocks]]> 2018-01-26 17:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/304803/1gi90rzzs2x7/wish/225163203 304803 https://padlet.com/304803/1gi90rzzs2x7/wish/225164135 A metamorphic rock is a type of rock which has been changed by extreme heat and pressure. Its name is from 'morph' (meaning form), and 'meta' (meaningchange). The original rock gets heated (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C) and pressured (1500 bars). This causes profound physical and/or chemical change.
