Review

 Igneous rocks
 Slow cooling = large
crystals
 Fast cooling = small
crystals
 Extremely fast = no
crystals or frothy
 Sedimentary
 Rocks
Rocks formed
from:
 Pieces of
other rocks
 Once living
things
 Liquid
solutions
 Sediments
 Materials that have
settled out from water or
air
 Form from the
weathering of rock
 Also from plant and
animal remains
 From Pieces of Other
Rocks
 Forces of nature break down
mountains
 Fragments of rocks are carried
away by:
 Wind

 Water
 Glaciers
 From Pieces of Other
Rocks
 These fragments settle
 Over time, the older

layers are buried

 They become tightly

packed
 From Pieces of Other
Rocks
 Lower layers harden into
rock
 Two ways:

 1st : Compaction

Sandstone
 From Pieces of Other
Rocks
2nd: Cementation
Sediments get

“glued” together
Conglomerate
 From Pieces of Other
Rocks
Some form under
water
Shale or mudstone
 From Once Living
Things
Coal- layers of plants

Coquina- sea shells

 From Liquid Solutions
 Limestone- calcium
carbonate dissolved in sea
water
 The water evaporates,

limestone forms
 Same for halite
 Fossils
 Plantsand animals can get
buried in the sediment
 When rock forms, their

impression, bones, or shells

remain

Sedimentary Rocks
 Formed from pieces of
other rocks W rite this on the
inside of the
“Sedimentary
 Formed two ways: Rocks” flap

 Compaction- sandstone

 Cementation-

conglomerate

Sedimentary Rocks
