The Rock Cycle ??

What is the difference between a rock & a mineral?
 Minerals are solid, inorganic, naturally occurring, and have a fixed crystalline structure made of one or more elements.
 A rock is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals and organic matter.

The Value of Rocks
 Rock is an important natural resource.
 Rocks can be made into:
 Hammers
 Arrowheads
 Spear points
 Knives
 Scrapers
 Buildings
 Monuments
 Roads

How do we classify rocks??
You decide!!!
Create a Circle Map in your interactive notebook describing how you would classify rocks!
Take a look at these pictures and the rocks in the lab!

How do we classify rocks??
Rocks are classified by their Formation, Composition, and Texture.

3 Types of Rocks… that’s it??
 Igneous Rocks
 Sedimentary Rocks
 Metamorphic Rocks

1. PRIDE card
2. Interactive
Notebook
3. Pencil/Pen
1. How are igneous rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed when molten rock cools and solidifies.
2. How are sedimentary rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediments settle out and are compacted together.
3. How are metamorphic rocks formed?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when igneous/sedimentary rocks are changed by heat and pressure deep inside the Earth’s crust.

1. Explain the difference between weathering and erosion.
Weathering is the breakdown of rock into sediments by elements such as sunlight, water wind. Erosion is the
transport of sediments from one place to another.
2. Describe how an intrusive igneous rock becomes a metamorphic rock.
Intrusive rocks are changed into metamorphic rocks as they undergo heat and pressure.

Igneous Rocks
 Where do Igneous rocks come from??
 ……VOLCANOES!
 Temperatures deep within the Earth are hot enough (1400 0 F to 2300 0 F) to melt rock

Igneous Rocks
 Intrusive igneous rockForms when magma cools within the Earth
 Extrusive igneous rockForms when lava cools on
Earth’s surface

Textures of Igneous Rocks
Texture = size of the rock’s mineral crystals
 Intrusive rocks commonly have large crystals
 Large crystals- slow cooling time
 Extrusive rocks commonly have small or no crystals
 Small/No crystals- fast cooling time

Textures of Igneous Rocks
 Large Crystals
 Small/No Crystals

 Formed 1km below
Earth’s surface
 It was once intrusive igneous rock
 It is what’s left behind of magma that once fed a volcano
Ship Rock
 Through weathering and erosion, surface rock has been worn away…
 …Ship Rock survives because igneous rock is usually harder than other types of rocks

Quick Quiz
What causes igneous rocks to have different textures?

Sedimentary Rocks
 Form from sediments that undergo lithification (get compacted and cemented together into rock)
 SedimentsCan be pieces of rocks, minerals, plants, or animals

Sedimentary Rock
Formation
 Rainwater washes away rock particles…
 Flow downhill to streams and rivers…
 Eventually these sediments reach the ocean…
 Settle on the bottom of the ocean…
 Pressure eventually forces these sediments together…
 Sedimentary rock is formed!

Types of Sedimentary Rock
 ClasticConsists of fragments of previously existing rock.
 ChemicalFormed from an inorganic process such as evaporation.
 OrganicConsists of things that were once living.
 Coal- of remains of plants (dead wood, bark, leaves, etc.)
 Limestone- ocean organisms (shells, bones, etc.)

Metamorphic Rock
 Forms when heat or pressure cause older rocks to change into new types of rocks
 Metamorphism-
 The process in which existing rock is changed by heat or pressure

Metamorphic Rock
 During metamorphism rocks undergo many changes
 Heat and pressure can break the bonds that join the atoms in minerals… the atoms then join together differently
 Recrystallization
 Rocks do not melt during this process!!!

Textures
Foliation- An arrangement of minerals in flat or wavy parallel bands
Foliated Rocks
 Develop under pressure
 Minerals flatten out or line up in bands
Nonfoiated Rocks
 Rock is made up of only one type of mineral OR
 Not under as much pressure

Quick Quiz
Foliated or Nonfoliated??
