ROCKS
Rocks form mager part of the earth crust. it may be defined as aggregates of minerals. Some rocks such as quartzite and marble content grains of one minute only but most are composed of a variety of different minerals the rocks are broadly classified into three groups such as
 |
| IMAGE ROCK |
A -- Igneous rocks
B --Sedimentary rocks and
C -- Metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rocks -- Igneous rocks are formed by cooling and solidification of magma typical igneous rocks granite and basalt.

igneous rock |
Sedimentary rocks -- sedimentary rocks are formed consolidation and cementation of the sediment deposited under water typical sedimentary rocks sandstone, limestone and shale.
 |
| sedimentary rock |
Metamorphic rocks -- When the pre exacting rocks have been changed in texture and composition by increased temperature and pressure.
 |
| metamorphic rock |
ex. schist and gneiss.
ROCKS CYCLE
the The Rock cycle show a relationship between the three types of rocks that is igneous rock sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks and type of rocks change slowly to another rocks erosion Diu produce demon sediments which is transported and deposited into to be basins under the sea then it hard to thumb study materials to form entry rocks sedimentary rocks if these rocks are deeply worried the temperature and pressure turn them into metamorphic rocks maybe rise up and reach the earth surface where it goes to farm igneous rock it cool to form igneous rocks at the surface igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion and the cycle begins again, again and again .
