Earth & Space Science

EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCES Earth’s surface changes over time as a result of natural processes and human activity (ACSSU075)

Types of Rocks

LESSON  1
LI: We are learning about rocks and how they are formed.

SC:
Name the three types of rocks and describe how each are formed.
Draw a diagram and explain the Rock Cycle

Picture
Rocks are a natural resource.

They are divided into 3 types:
Igneous Rocks,
Sedimentary Rocks
& Metamorphic Rocks

Rocks are studied by Geologists


Rock Cycle 

The rock cycle is a series of processes that create and transform the types of rocks in Earth’s crust.
Picture

Geologists


  • work in a number of areas such as mining or on building development projects
  • conduct field studies and collect samples such as rocks and fossils
  • study landforms such as mountains to determine how they were formed
  • study local areas to determine their history
  • study rocks to determine how they age.

Weathering and Erosion

Weathering is the breaking down of Rock (geology) rocks, soil and their minerals through direct contact with the Earth's atmosphere, waters, or living things. It is a natural process.
Weathering occurs in one place with little or no movement, and should not be confused with erosion which is when rocks and minerals are moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity.
