Importance of Rocks in Our World
What’s so special about rocks ?????
So why are rocks important?

Rocks can be used to
BUILD walls, buildings,
bridges…..all sorts of
things.

The whole PLANET is
made of rock.
Without rock we
wouldn’t be standing
on anything!!
How are rocks formed?
Lava
from beneath the
Earth’s
crust
reaches the
surface and cools. These
are called
igneous
rocks
.

Small rock particles or the
hard shells of animals form
layers. These are called
sedimentary
rocks.

Pressure and heat change
the rocks. These are called
metamorphic
rocks.
Both sedimentary
and metamorphic
rocks can be
pushed back into
the earth’s
mantle
so the
rock cycle
can begin again.
Are all rocks the same?
Are all rocks the same?
Time to get testing!
Are all rocks the same?
Rocks can be all sorts of
colours, depending on the
minerals within them.
Some, like
marble
, can be
used to make attractive
sculptures.
Are all rocks the same?
Some rocks are
permeable
(water
soaks into it) while some are
impermeable
. Other rocks are
porous
– they have holes where the water can
flow through, like
limestone.

What types of rocks will you see in the
Peak District?
Discover the significance of rocks in our daily lives, from constructing buildings to determining soil types. Learn why rocks are essential for creating materials like metals and how they shape the planet we inhabit. Explore how rocks are formed and their crucial role in various aspects of our environment.
