ROCKS Concept Map

The document outlines the three main types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from molten rock that cools and solidifies, either below ground as intrusive rocks or above ground as extrusive rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the compaction or cementation of sediments like sand, shells, or minerals. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions in the Earth's crust.
