ROCKS!!! by: Isabel Villanueva : ROCKS!!! by: Isabel Villanueva Definition
A naturally formed solid that is usually made up of one or more types of minerals. Fun Facts
Some rocks formed when lava cools. This is igneous rock.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by being pushed together over time, and they are found on earths surface.
The three types of rocks by Ryleigh Glenn : The three types of rocks by Ryleigh Glenn Sedimentary rock is a type of rock that settles. In addition to pieces of rock and minerals plants animals and older rock get pressed together or get cemented together. It also forms when water evaporates .
Metamorphic rock is a type of rock that is created by heat or pressure. It is also created by older rocks changing into new types of rock.
Igneous rock is a type of rock that is formed when molten rock cools.

The rock cycle : The rock cycle The rock cycle is the cycle that rocks go through when they change . Like if you took sedimentary rock and melted it would become igneous rock . If you applied heat and pressure it would become metamorphic rock . It has all the combinations of the rocks changing.
Elephant rocks : Elephant rocks The sun moves the rock into new shapes. the elephant use to be a arch until the sun molded it to be an elephant shape . The elephant rocks were formed by a sand storm. Valley of fire state park east entrance, Nevada sandstone
