Three types of rocks are called | Ingneous, Metamorphic, Sedimentary |
Magma is ... | Motlen minerals and metals inside the earth |
Lava | Molten, magma on the surface of the earth |
Extrusive rocks | Igneous rocks formed on the surface of the earth |
Intrusive Rocks | Igneous rocks formed under the earth's surface |

Basalt | A type of Igneous Extrusive rock |
Granite | A type of Igneous Intrusive rock |

Cleavage | Tendance ofr a mineral to break leaving a smooth surface |
Fracture | Tendancy of a mineral to break leaving an irreguarl or rough surface |
Diamond | the Hardest mineral rock that even scratches glass |
Solidification | The process of magma cooling into rocks |
Clastic Sedimentary | rocks t5hat are formed when broken pieces of roks are squeezed and cemented together back into new rocks |
no-clastic Sedimentary rocks | rokcs that are formed from parts of rocks, and with a chemical process turn into new rocks |
Limestone | a type of sedimentary rock |
Foliated rocks | a type of metamorphic rock that has bands or layers |
non-foliated metamorphic rocks | a type of rock that made up of older rocks, but do not have bands or layers |
foliate | bands, layers |
