Study Notes
- Mr. Bradley is teaching viewers about three types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
- Sedimentary rock is formed when wind, rain, and water carry tiny rocks and dirt from mountains to oceans and lakes, where they sink and compress, forming one hard rock after a long time. Layers of sedimentary rock can be seen in formations. Examples include sandstone, mudstone, limestone, shield, and cool.
- Metamorphic rock is formed when rock layers deep underground come close to becoming molten hot magma, causing the rocks to be chemically changed with the combination of heat and pressure over a long period of time. Examples include rocks climbed on mountaineering courses in India.
- Igneous rock is formed when molten rocks, or magma, cool down and harden. This can occur underground or when molten rock, or lava, comes out of the ground. Examples include basalt, granite, and thomas.
- The three types of rocks are part of the rock cycle, where sedimentary rock is formed from smaller rocks and dirt, igneous rock is formed from molten rock that cools down, and the cycle starts over again with sedimentary rock being formed from tiny pieces of rocks and dirt carried away by water.
- The video includes visits to various rock formations and mines to learn about the different types of rocks.
