Unit 4: The Rock Cycle
LT 4.1: I can interpret the environment during the formation of igneous rocks.
Where would I find this?
1. Can you describe the four types of igneous rocks?
2. Can you explain how each of the four types is made?
LT 4.2: I can interpret the environment during the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Where would I find this?
1. Can you describe the three types of sedimentary rocks?
2. Can you explain how each of the three types is made?
LT 4.3: I can interpret the environment during the formation of metamorphic rocks.
Where would I find this?
1. Can you describe the two types of igneous rocks?
2. Can you explain how both types are made?
LT 4.4: I can describe how each of the 3 types of rocks are made.
Where would I find this?
1. Can you name each type of rock and explain how each type is formed?
2. Can you draw and explain the rock cycle?
3. Can you explain how rocks are “recycled” and where “new” rocks come from?

Rock Observations
Describe at least three things about the rock at your stations. Look for intrinsic properties
about the rock that make it unique, not something that depends on the sample you got (it big or
small or its shape)

LT 4.1: I can interpret the environment during the formation of igneous rocks.
1. All igneous rocks are made from what substances (it has two names, depending on where it’s found).
2. Where on earth will you see new igneous rocks?
3. What are the names of the two classifications of igneous rock based on where they cool?
4. Draw a picture showing the difference between what extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks look like.
5. How does the cooling rate of magma affect the size of the crystal of the igneous rock?
6. What are the three ways we classify rock by composition?
7. What is the difference between mafic and felsic (name at least 2)?
