Seite 1

Metamorphic rocks have been subjected to very high hat and pressure which physically and/or chemically changes it (e.g. marble or slate)

Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments that have settled at the bottom of a lake, sea or ocean, and have been compressed (e.g. limestone or sandstone)

Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava (e.g. basalt or granite)
