• Minerals are nonliving, solid substances
• They occur naturally - they are not made by people
• Minerals have different shapes, colors, weights, and degrees of hardness
• Minerals come together to form rocks

•There are three types of rocks:
•Each type of rock is formed in a different way

• Igneous rocks form when molten material cools and hardens.– If the molten material is inside the earth, it is called magma.
– If the molten material is on the earth’s surface, it is called lava.
• The molten material crystallizes into different minerals.• The properties and sizes of the various crystals depend on
the magma’s composition and rate of cooling.

• Magma pushes up toward the surface.
• A volcano forms on the surface.
• Lava flows out of the volcano and cools quickly, forming igneous rocks.
• Underground magma pools form, the magma cools slowly, forming crystallized igneous rocks.

• Sedimentary rocks are made of sediments– Sediments come from eroded igneous,
metamorphic, and other sedimentary rocks, and the remains of dead plants and animals.
• These sediments are deposited in layers and are then squeezed and compressed into rock.
• Most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks.

• Over time, eroded sediments deposited at the base of a river.
• Under great pressure, the sediments are pressed or squeezed to form sedimentary rocks.

• Metamorphic rocks form when sedimentary, igneous, or other metamorphic rocks are transformed by great heat and/or pressure.
• The word “metamorphic” come from the Greek language and means “to change form”.

• Sediments sink and add pressure on lower rocks.
• Heat and pressure beneath the surface change the mineral make-up older rocks, forming new metamorphic rocks.
