Types of Rocks

Rocks are not all the same!


The three main types, or classes, of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the
differences among them have to do with how they are formed.

Sedimentary
Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material.
Together, all these particles are called sediment. Gradually, the sediment accumulates in layers and
over a long period of time hardens into rock. Generally, sedimentary rock is fairly soft and may break
apart or crumble easily. You can often see sand, pebbles, or stones in the rock, and it is usually the
only type that contains fossils.

Examples of this rock type include conglomerate and limestone.sandstone and shale.

Metamorphic
Metamorphic rocks are formed under the surface of the earth from the metamorphosis (change) that
occurs due to intense heat and pressure (squeezing). The rocks that result from these processes often
have ribbonlike layers and may have shiny crystals, formed by minerals growing slowly over time, on
their surface.

Examples of this rock type include gneiss and marble.quarzite and slate.

Igneous
Igneous rocks are formed when magma (molten rock deep within the earth) cools and hardens.
Sometimes the magma cools inside the earth, and other times it erupts onto the surface from
volcanoes (in this case, it is called lava). When lava cools very quickly, no crystals form and the rock
looks shiny and glasslike. Sometimes gas bubbles are trapped in the rock during the cooling process,
leaving tiny holes and spaces in the rock.

Examples of this rock type include basalt and obsidian.pumice and scoria.

Ang multilingual o multilinggwal ay mga tao na nakikipag-ugnayan gamit ang dalawa o higit pang bilang
ng wika/lenggwahe (pasulat o pasalita man). Ang mga bilingual (bi-linggwal) at trilingual (tri-linggwal)
ang mas malimit na itawag sa mga taong gumagamit ng dalawa hanggang tatlong wika.Ang
multilinggwal na tao ay maaari ring tawaging "polyglot".Kalimitan ay nahuhulma ang ganitong katangian
tuwing kabataan kung kailan ginagamit ang unang wika - tinatawag silang first language,native language
at/o mother tongue.Ito ay kalimitang natututunan kahit walang pormal na edukasyon dahil dala ito ng
mekanismo sa lipunang kinalakihan.Ang pangalawang wika (at ang iba pang gamit na lenggwahe) ay
maaaring natututunan sa multi-linggwal na lipunan, sa paaralan at sa mga pormal na pagsasanay.Ang
Pilipinas ay multilinggwal na lipunan dahil dalawa (kung tutuusin ay (higit pa) ang opisyal na wika ang
madalas ginagamit dito: Filipino (Tagalog, Bisaya, marami pang ibang dayalekto) at ang Ingles
(English).Marami regional languages o mga dayalekto ang Pilipinas. May 11 na lenggwaheng pang
rehiyon ang nire-recognised ng gobyerno. at 90+ na dayalekto na sinasalita ng mga etniko, tribo't mga
katutubo.Marami rin silang mga namanang wika mula sa mga dayuhan: Chinese, Spanish, at Japanese.
