Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components

STATEMENT: geologists classify rocks based on how the rocks were formed. Rocks can be classified into three categories on the basis of their formation: igneous rocks‚ sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks. I. The first type is igneous rocks (from the Greek word for fire) which are formed from molten rock (magma) and lava. A. Formation 1.coming up of magma through cracks 2. forming a layer on surface or filling other cracks 3. cooling forming a very hard igneous rock 4. magma on the surface

The rock cycle involves of a chain of continual progressions through which earth materials change from one form to another over time.

There is no real starting or completion to the rock cycle; however‚ it may be appropriate to begin investigating the rock cycle with magma (Bergman 2005). Magma‚ or molten rock‚ forms only at certain locations within the earth‚ mostly along plate boundaries. Magma crystallizes
