What to Focus On

  • Lithosphere is the outer crust of the Earth.
  • Rocks are aggregates of minerals.
  • Minerals have a definite chemical composition.

  • Three main rock types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
  • Igneous rocks are primary rocks.
  • Sedimentary rocks form from older rock material and organic matter.

  • Igneous rocks form from magma.
  • Magma is molten rock material consisting of liquid, gas, and crystals.
  • Basalt Magma is very hot and highly fluid.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All magma is the same and all igneous rocks form in the same way.

Batholith and laccolith are the same because both are large intrusive igneous bodies.

A sill is vertical and a dyke is horizontal.
