    Sedimentary rocks form from the compaction and cementation of sediments like sand, clay, and shells on Earth's surface or in bodies of water. Common types include sandstone, limestone, shale, conglomerate, and gypsum. Metamorphic rocks form from sedimentary or igneous rocks undergoing heat and pressure changes deep underground. Examples are schist and gneiss. Igneous rocks form when magma erupts and cools, either slowly below ground to form granite or quickly above ground to produce scoria, pumice, or obsidian.

    Original Description:

    These is about types of rock in science class.

    Sedimentary rock

    Sedimentary rock is a type of rock that Earth’s surface and


    within bodies of water.
    ◦Sandstone-small grains of minerals
    ◦Limestone-made from the mineral which came from sea
    animal shells
    ◦Shale-formed from clay
    ◦Conglomerate-made up of large sediments like sand and
    pebbles
    ◦Gypsum-formed as the result of evaporating sea water

    Metamorphic rock
    Metamorphic rocks were igneous rocks or sedimentary
    rocks and it formed by pressure.
    ◦Schist-formed from an igneous rock, shale and
    sedimentary rock
    ◦Gneiss-have been granite, which is an igneous rock but
    heat and pressure changed it

    Igneous rock
    They are formed when the melted rock that called magma
    erupt than the lava comes out from volcano if, lava cools
    down than it becomes to igneous rock.
    ◦Granite-formed by slowly cooling small amount of
    magma that were trapped beneath of earth’s surface
    ◦Scoria-formed when lava quickly cooled above ground
    ◦Pumice-formed when lava quickly cooled above ground
    but it’s so light that can float on the water
    ◦Obsidian-formed when lava quickly cooled above ground
    but it is actually glass and not mixture of minerals
