What are Metamorphic Rocks?

What Are Sedimentary Rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the
accumulation of sediments. There are three
basic types of sedimentary rocks. Clastic
Sedimentary Rocks, Chemical Sedimentary
Rocks and Organic Sedimentary Rocks.
What are Igneous Rocks?
Igneous rocks are formed from the
solidification of molten rock material. There
are two basic types. The extrusive and the
intrusive igneous rocks.
Metamorphic rocks have been modified by
heat, pressure, and chemical processes,
usually while buried deep below Earth's
surface. Exposure to these extreme
conditions has altered the mineralogy,
texture, and chemical composition of the
rocks. Foliated and Non-Foliated.

Extrusive igneous rocks erupt onto the surface,

Clastic Sedimentary Rocks
where they cool quickly to form small crystals. Some cool
so quickly that they form an amorphous glass. Foliated metamorphic rocks

Intrusive igneous rocks crystallize below Earth's

surface, and the slow cooling that occurs there allows large

crystals to form.
