  • Weathering is the creation of smaller pieces of rock through physical or chemical means

  • Erosion is the moving of sediments from their original position

  • Deposition is the settling of sediment

  • Compaction and cementation is the process by which sediment is squeezed and glued together into a new rock.

    Intrusive- slowly cool below the surface of the Earth.

    Extrusive- form from lava cooling at the surface of the Earth.

Can form from pre-existing rocks. Pressure is needed, but not as much as metamorphic rocks. Often contain fossils!

Always begins as another type of rock. This usually takes place deep underground.

    Metamorphic: gneiss, marble, and schist


    Igneous: pumice, obsidian, and granite
