Sedimentary Rocks
They are formed from particles of sand and pebbles.
1 of 6
Metamorphic Rocks
Formed under the durface of the earth from change that occurs due to intense heat and pressure.
2 of 6
Igneous Rocks
Formed when magma cools and hardens
3 of 6
Freeze-Thaw Weathering
Water enters cracks in the rock. When temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands causing the crack to widen. The ice melts and water makes its way deeper into the cracks. The process repeats itself until the rock splits entirely.
