Sedimentary Rocks and the Rock Cycle
www.dnr.sc.govIgneous rocks are formed by the cooling of molten magma or lava near, at, or below the Earth’s surface. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of inorganic and organic sediments deposited at or near the Earth’s surface. Metamorphic rocks are formed when preexisting rocks are transformed into new rocks by elevated heat
Chapter 22: Classification of Metamorphic Rocks
www3.nd.eduMetamorphic Rocks • Metamorphic rocks are classified on the basis of texture and composition (either mineralogical or chemical) • Unlike igneous rocks, which have been plagued by a proliferation of local and specific names, metamorphic rock names are surprisingly simple and flexible • May choose some prefix-type modifiers to attach
