The Value of Rock What Is Rock? Scientists define rock as _______________________________________ __________________________________ _ _______________________________________ __________________________________ _ _______________________________________ __________________________________ _________________________________________. Why Is Rock Important? Rock has been an important natural resource for as long as humans have existed. Early humans used rock to make tools.

This continues the rock cycle.

Round and Round It Goes • Rolling Stones The sequence of events in the rock cycle depends on processes, such as weathering, erosion, deposition, pressure, and heat, that change the rock material. Look at the illustrated rock cycle on the next slide and identify what processes are taking place at each stage.

Chapter 2 Rocks: Minerals & Mixtures Guided Notes Name: ________________________________ Date:___________ Class: STEM Gr. 6 Hour:_______ Section 2: Igneous Rock Bellringer Do you think rocks that cooled and solidified from lava on Earth’s surface would look different from those that cooled and solidified from magma inside the Earth? Would you be more likely to find igneous rock in the Rocky Mountains or in the Hawaiian Islands? Explain your answer in your science journal. Objectives • Describe three ways that igneous rock forms. • Explain how the cooling rate of magma affects the texture of igneous rock. • Distinguish between igneous rock that cools within Earth’s crust and igneous rock that cools at Earth’s surface. Origins of Igneous Rock • Formation Igneous rock forms _______________________________________ __________________________________ ________________________________________ __________________________________ _________________________________________. Composition and Texture of Igneous Rock • Appearance Determined by Cooling Rate Igneous rocks can be composed of _______________________________________ __________________________________ _. The texture of igneous rock is determined by _______________________________________ __________________________________ _. Igneous Rock Formations • Intrusive Igneous Rock When magma intrudes, or pushes, into surrounding rock below the Earth’s surface and cools, the rock that forms is called intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rock usually has a coarse-grained texture because it is well insulated by surrounding rock and cools very slowly. Some intrusive igneous formations are illustrated on the next slide.

Tree rings exist because the weather changes of the seasons are reflected in the trees bark as the tree grows. Sedimentary rock is formed in layers over time much the same way. Events like forest fires and droughts will be visible in tree rings just as they are visible in sedimentary rock layers. How are layers in sedimentary rock alike or different from rings in a tree? What can geologists infer from examining sedimentary rock layers? Record your answers in your science journal. Objectives • Describe the origin of sedimentary rock. • Describe the three main categories of sedimentary rock. • Describe three types of sedimentary structures. Origins of Sedimentary Rock • How Sedimentary Rock Is Formed Through _______________________________________ __________________________________ ________________________________________ __________________________________ _, called sediment, are moved from one place to another. Eventually, the sediment is deposited in layers.

How is the mixture of raw ingredients like sedimentary rock? Do the raw ingredients of a cookie look the same after they are done baking? Describe how cookie dough metamorphoses when it is baked in an oven. Record your responses in your science journal. Objectives • Describe two ways a rock can undergo metamorphism. • Explain how the mineral composition of rocks changes as the rocks undergo metamorphism. • Describe the difference between foliated and nonfoliated metamorphic rock. • Explain how metamorphic rock structures are related to deformation. Origins of Metamorphic Rock • Contact Metamorphism One way rock can undergo metamorphism is by _______________________________________ __________________________________ _. When magma moves _________________________________________________________________________ _ _______________________________________ __________________________________ _ _______________________________________ ___________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________. • Regional Metamorphism When pressure builds up in rock that is buried deep below other rock formations or when large pieces of the Earth’s crust collide with each other, _______________________________________ __________________________________ _.
