There are Three Difrerent of Rock
1 Rocks
1) These are formed from magma (melted underground rock) which is
pushed up through the crust and often out through volcanoes.
-
2) They contain various minerals in randomly arranged interlqckingcrlrstals'
The size of the crystals (or texture) depends on the speed of cooling.
Large crystals mean that the rock has cooled slowly.
3) There are two types of igneous rocks: extrusive and intrusive

Extrusive igneous rocks
EXAMPLES: basalt (extrusive),

granite (intrusive). -
1) These are formed from layers of redirnent (rock fragments or dead matter) laid
down in lakes or seas over millions of years. Sedimentary rocks can also form
when water evaporates and leaves a dissolved sslid (like salt) behind.
2) The layers are cemented together by other minerals

Warm-Up Questions
Practice Questions
1 ln the UK, local councils collect materials so that they can be recycred.
(a) Give four advantages of recycling materials over making them from scratch.
(4 marks)
(b) One local council is designing a leaflet to encourage its residents to recycle more.
The leaflet currently includes the three statements below. Say whether each
statement is true or false. lf a statement is false, explain why.
1. Recycling could help to prevent further increases
in greenhouse gas levels.
2. It is important to recycle aluminium because it uses less energy to recycle
aluminium than to mine and extract aluminium from aluminium ore.
3. Recycling saves money because it is completely free.
(2 marks)
2 Mushrooms and earthworms are both types of decomposer.
Decomposers are part of the carbon cycle.
(b) Explain how the role of green plants in the carbon cycle
is different to that of decomposers.
(3 marks)
