  • Igneous Sedimentary and Metamorphic rock are usually composed of​ only two key minerals: silica and a silicate, typically feldspar. ​
  • Their unique chemical composition and minerals make them ​easy to identify in the field. ​
  • There are four main types of igneous rock: ​basalt, granite, gabbro, and pumice.​​
  • They are commonly formed when volcanoes erupt and lava flows to the surface. ​
  • Broken obsidian, volcanic glass, and tachylyte are also known as igneous rock.
  • Metamorphic rock is formed when the heat and pressure of the Earth’s crust change certain minerals into others.    
  • The most common type of metamorphic rock is marble, which is made of calcite and other minerals.    
  • Other common types of metamorphic rock are slate, which is made of silica, and gneiss, which is a type of rock with a grain size of less than one millimetre.    
  • Due to the great heat and pressure of the Earth’s crust, metamorphic rocks are often folded, broken, and faulted.
  • Most igneous rocks are formed when volcanoes erupt, causing molten rock to rise through the earth’s surface.
  • The resulting lava flows and obsidian, volcanic glass, and tachylyte are all forms of igneous rock.
  • Most igneous rocks are dark in colour, but some, such as granite and gabbro, are light-coloured.
  • They are often easy to identify in the field because of their distinctive textures and minerals.
