    INTRUDUCTION
    This power point presentation is based on the different
    types of rocks, how they are formed and images showing some of the
    rocks.
    What are Rocks?
    A rock is a natural substance composed of solid crystals of different minerals
    that have been fused together into a solid lump.
    Types of Rocks
    1. Sedimentary 10. Shale 19. Diorite
    2. Igneous 11. Slate 20. Andesite
    3. Metamorphic 12. Schist 21. Chert
    4. Sandstone 13. Intrusive rock 22. Rhyolite
    5. Basalt 14. Quartzite 23. Extrusive rock
    6. Granite 15. Conglomerate 24. Breccia
    7. Marble 16. Pumice
    8. Limestone 17. Gabbro
    9. Gneiss 18. Obsidian
    Sedimentary rocks
    Common sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These
    rocks often start as sediments carried in rivers and deposited in lakes and
    oceans. When buried, the sediments lose water and become cemented to form
    rock. Tuffaceous sandstones contain volcanic ash.
    Igneous rock
    Igneous rocks are defined as types of rocks that are formed when molten
    rock cools to a solid state. Lava is molten rock flowing out when cooled,
    they form rocks such as basalt, rhyolite, or obsidian.
    Metamorphic rock
    Rock that was once one form of rock but has changed to another under the
    influence of heat, pressure, or some other agent without passing through a
    liquid phase.
    Sandstone rock
    Sandstone is made of sand grains that may have been deposited in the sea, by
    rivers, or in deserts, and later cemented together by minerals precipitated from
    groundwater.
    Basalt rock
    A dark gray to black dense to fine-grained igneous rock that consists of basic
    plagioclase, augite, and usually magnetite.
    Granite rock
    Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible
    with the unaided eye. It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below
    Earth's surface. Granite is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor
    amounts of mica, amphiboles, and other minerals.
    Marble rock
    Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite.
    Obsidian rock
    Obsidian are igneous rock occurring as a natural glass formed by the rapid
    cooling of viscous lava from volcanoes.
    Pumice rock
    Intrusive igneous rocks are rocks that crystallize below the earth's surface
    resulting in large crystals as the cooling takes place slowly. Diorite,
    granite, and pegmatite are examples of intrusive igneous rocks.
    Quartzite rock
    Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed when quartz-rich sandstone or chert
    has been exposed to high temperatures and pressures. Such conditions fuse
    the quartz grains together forming a dense, hard rock.
