Tutorial One: Rock types
Task:
Select a rock from each of the three rock types (igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock) so you
must have total of three rocks one rock for each rock type. For each of the rock you selected outline
their distribution in south Africa. In your explanation provide a reason for their distribution (so why
are they found in those areas) and outline processes that are associated with their formation (so how
did those rocks form). For Instance, if you’re looking at an Igneous rock this can be (Granite Rock) so
this would be your rock for igneous rock type. Now we have other rocks within the igneous rock type
so pick your example and respond to the question. In your Response make sure you include references
confirming the distribution of that rock, and the formation of that particular rock. Tutorials without
intext references and a reference list will not be marked as I’ll consider your work incomplete. So do
your thorough search.
NB!! Your answers must be very brief and straight to the point. No more than 1 line to explain the
formation of each rock.
Good luck!!
