There are 3 main types, or classes, of rocks in the world and in this set. They are igneous,
metamorphic, and sedimentary.

Igneous

rocks are formed when magma (molten rock deep in the earth) cools and

hardens. When magma escapes from inside the earth, it is called lava.

Metamorphic

rocks are formed when one type or rock changes (metamorphoses) into a new

type of rock due to extreme heat and pressure inside the earth.

Sedimentary

rocks are formed when layers of material are added on top of existing rock over a

long period of time. Sedimentary rocks are usually soft and may break apart or crumble easily.

*Rock colors and features may vary.
