Section 1 The Rock Cycle
Bellringer
Most of us try to recycle the items we use in our
daily lives to minimize the pollution we cause. In a
way, the Earth also recycles through the rock cycle.
How can a rock be recycled? How long would
recycling a rock take? What would a rock look like
before, during, and after the process of recycling?
Record your thoughts about these questions in
your science journal.

Section 1 The Rock Cycle
The Rock Cycle
• A rock is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one
or more minerals or organic matter.
• New rock forms from old rock material constantly.
• The series of processes in which a rock forms,
changes from one type to another, is destroyed,
and forms again by geological processes is called
the rock cycle.

The Value of Rock
• Rock has been an important natural resource for as
long as humans have existed.
• Ancient and modern civilizations have used granite,
limestone, marble sandstone, slate and other rocks as
construction materials.
• Rock is also an important ingredient in concrete and
plaster, both of which are commonly used in
construction.

Processes That Shape the Earth, continued
• Heat and Pressure Sedimentary rock can also form
when buried sediment is squeezed by the weight of
overlaying layers of sediment.
• If the temperature and pressure are high enough, the
rock can change into metamorphic rock.
• If the rock gets hot enough to melt, this creates the
magma that eventually cools to form igneous rock.

• How the Cycle Continues Buried rock is exposed
at the Earth’s surface by a combination of uplift and
erosion.
• Uplift is the movement within the Earth that causes
rocks inside the Earth to be moved to the surface.
• When uplifted rock reaches the Earth’s surface,
weathering, erosion, and deposition begin.

Section 2 Igneous Rock
Origins of Igneous Rock
• Igneous rock forms when hot, liquid rock, or
magma, cools and solidifies. There are three ways
magma can form:
• When rock is heated
• When pressure is released
• When rock changes composition

Composition and Texture of Igneous Rock
• Light-colored igneous rocks are called felsic rocks.

Section 2 Igneous Rock
Igneous Rock Formations
• 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
rocks and cools very slowly.

Bellringer
Tree rings are formed each year of a tree’s life cycle.
Tree rings exist because the weather changes of the
seasons are reflected in the tree’s bark as the tree
grows.

examining sedimentary rock layers?

Section 3 Sedimentary Rock
Origins of Sedimentary Rock
• Wind, water, ice, sunlight, and gravity all cause rock
to physically weather into fragments.
• Through erosion, these rock and mineral fragments,
called sediment, are moved from one place to
another.
• The sediment is deposited in layers, and eventually
newer layers cover the older layers.

Section 3 Sedimentary Rock
Composition of Sedimentary Rock
• Sedimentary rock is classified by the way it forms.

rocks cemented together by a mineral such as calcite
or quartz.

medium-grained, or fine-grained textures.

Section 3 Sedimentary Rock
Composition of Sedimentary Rock, continued
• Chemical sedimentary rock forms from solutions of
dissolved mineral and water.
• As rainwater slowly makes its way to the ocean, it
dissolves some of the rock material it passes through.
• Some of this dissolved material eventually
crystallized and forms the mineral that make up
chemical sedimentary rock.

Composition of Sedimentary Rock, continued
• Organic sedimentary rock is made up of the
skeletons and shells of sea animals. These remains
collect on the ocean floor and eventually become
cemented together.
• Coal is a type of organic sedimentary rock that is
formed when decomposed plant material is buried
beneath sediment and is changed by increasing heat
and pressure.

Sedimentary Rock Structures
• Many features indicate the way sedimentary rock is
formed. The most important feature is stratification.
• Stratification is the process in which sedimentary
rocks are arranged in layers.
• Strata differ from one another depending on the
kind, size, and color of their sediment.

Section 3 Sedimentary Rock
Sedimentary Rock Structures, continued
• Sedimentary rocks sometimes record the motion
of wind and water waves on lakes, oceans, rivers,
and sand dunes in features called ripple marks.
• Structures called mud cracks form when finegrained sediments at the bottom of a shallow body
of water are exposed to the air and dry out.
• Even raindrop impressions can be preserved in
fine-grained sediments, as small pits with raised
rims.

Section 4 Metamorphic Rock
Origins of Metamorphic Rock
• Metamorphic rocks are rocks in which the structure,
texture, or composition of the rock have changed.All
three types of rock can be changed by heat,
pressure, or a combination of both.
• A rock’s texture or mineral composition can change
when its surroundings change. If the temperature or
pressure of the new environment is different from the
one in which the rock formed, the rock will undergo
metamorphism.

Chapter F2
Section 4 Metamorphic Rock
Origins of Metamorphic Rock, continued
• Contact Metamorphism When magma moves
through the crust, the magma heats the surrounding
rock and changes it.
• Some minerals in the surrounding rock are changed
into other minerals by this increase in temperature.
• The greatest change occurs where magma comes
into direct contact with the surrounding rock.

Section 4 Metamorphic Rock
Origins of Metamorphic Rock, continued
• Regional metamorphism occurs when pressure
builds up in rock that is buried deep below other rock
formations, or when large pieces of the Earth’s curst
collide with each other.
• The increased pressure and temperature causes
rock to become deformed and chemically changed.

Section 4 Metamorphic Rock
Composition of Metamorphic Rock
• As rocks undergo metamorphism, original minerals
in a rock change into new minerals that are more
stable within the new pressure and temperature
conditions.
• Many of these new minerals form only in metamorphic rock. These are known as index minerals,
and are used to estimate the temperature, depth,
and pressure at which a rock undergoes metamorphism.

Texture of Metamorphic Rock, continued
• Foliated Metamorphic Rock The texture of
metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are
arranged in planes or band is called foliated.
• Foliated metamorphic rock usually contains aligned
grains of flat minerals, such as biotite mica or chlorite
• Metamorphic rocks can become other metamorphic
rocks if the environment changes again.

Texture of Metamorphic Rock, continued
• Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rock The texture of
metamorphic rock in which the mineral grains are not
arranged in planes or band is called nonfoliated.
• Nonfoliated metamorphic rocks are commonly
made of one or only a few minerals.
• During metamorphism, crystals of these minerals
may change in size or the mineral may change in
composition in a process called recrystallization.

Metamorphic Rock Structures
• Metamorphic rock has features that indicates its
history. These features are caused by deformation.
• Deformation is a change in the shape of a rock
caused by a force placed on it.
• These forces may cause a rock to be squeezed or
stretched. Folds, or bends, in metamorphic rock are
structures that indicate a rock has been deformed.

Passage 1 The texture and composition of a rock can
provide good clues about how and where the rock
formed. Scientists use both texture and composition to
understand the origin and history of rocks. For
example, marble is a rock that is made when
limestone is metamorphosed. Only limestone contains
the mineral—calcite—that can change into marble.
Therefore, wherever scientists find marble, they know
the sediment that created the original limestone was
deposited in a warm ocean or lake environment.

Passage 2 Fulgurites are a rare type of natural glass
found in areas that have quartz-rich sediments, such as
beaches and deserts. A tubular fulgurite forms when a
lightning bolt strikes material such as sand and melts
the quartz into a liquid. The liquid quartz cools and
solidifies quickly, and a thin, glassy tube is left behind.
Fulgurites usually have a rough outer surface and a
smooth inner surface.
