VOLCANIC ROCKS


Rocks are aggregates of minerals. Geologists divide rocks into three groups: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Igneous rocks crystallize from magma. Metamorphic rocks form by the deformation and/or recrystallization of pre-existing rock by changes in temperature, pressure, and/or chemistry. Sedimentary rocks form by weathering and erosion of preexisting rock to make sediment, which is lithified into rock.



VOLCANOES, ROCKS AND SOILS


We are starting a unit on volcanoes for science. We will learn about rocks, soils and minerals and tap into their properties. Time for researching!
