    ➢ Rocks are divided into 3


    categories based on how
    they are formed : Igneous,
    sedimentary and
    metamorphic
    Igneous rocks are formed
    from melted rock deep
    inside the Earth.

    Sedimentary rocks are


    formed from layers of sand,
    silt, dead plants, and
    animal skeletons.

    Metamorphic rocks formed


    from other rocks that are
    changed by heat and

    Chalk is also made of
    rocks

    of skeletons of tiny
    sea animals. It
    wears away easily,
