What is a Rock?
•Naturally-occurring mixtures of minerals, mineraloids, glass or organic matter.

What is a Rock?
•Rocks are divided into 3 groups based on how they were formed:
•IGNEOUS•SEDIMENTARY•METAMORPHIC
![Page 4: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is the difference between a rock and a
mineral?•Rocks are made up of ONE or
MORE minerals.

Once a rock is formed, does it stay the same rock
forever?• NO!
![Page 6: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
•Rocks are continually changed by many processes, such as weathering, erosion, compaction, cementation, melting, and cooling
•Rocks can change to and from the three types
![Page 7: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is the process through which rocks
change?• The Rock Cycle—earth materials
change back and forth among the different types of rocks

• No set path a rock takes to become another kind of rock

How are rocks redistributed?
• The core, mantle, & crust are one giant rock recycling machine

1. What do igneous rocks form from?
2. What kind of rock is sandstone?3. What are metamorphic rocks
formed by?
![Page 14: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• “Ignis” = Latin for “fire”
• Formed from the cooling of either magma or lava
• The most abundant type of rock
• Classified according to their origin and composition
![Page 15: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ORIGIN— Where rocks are formed
• Below ground = from magma (intrusive igneous rock)
•Usually have LARGE crystal grains (they cooled slowly)
![Page 16: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Some have large & small crystals (called porphyritic)
![Page 17: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Above ground = from lava (extrusive igneous rock)
•Usually have SMALL or NO crystals (they cooled too quickly)
![Page 18: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Peridotite: Intrusive or Extrusive? Why?
![Page 19: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Granite: Intrusive or Extrusive? Why?
![Page 20: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

COMPOSITION— What kind of substances the rocks are made
of
![Page 23: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Basaltic Igneous Rocks —made from lava/magma that is low in silica, rich in iron and magnesium. Rocks are dark-
colored.
![Page 24: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Granitic Igneous Rocks—made from magma/lava high in silica and oxygen. Rocks are light-colored.
![Page 25: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Andesitic Igneous Rocks—have a composition between basaltic and granitic.
![Page 26: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Basalt
![Page 28: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Granite
![Page 29: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Formed from sediments (rock fragments, mineral grains, animal & plant remains) that are pressed or cemented together or when sediments precipitate out of a solution.
![Page 30: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• These sediments are moved by wind, water, ice or gravity.
• Sedimentary rocks represent 7% of the Earth’s crust, but they cover 70% of the Earth’s surface.
• Sedimentary rocks are fossil-carrying rocks.
![Page 31: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What turns sediments into solid rock?
• Water or wind breaks down and deposits sediment (erosion & deposition)
![Page 32: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• The heavy sediments press down on the layers beneath (compaction)
![Page 33: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Dissolved minerals flow between the particles and cement them together (cementation)
![Page 34: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How can sedimentary layers help us understand the age of
fossils?• As sedimentary
rocks are deposited, they form horizontal layers
• Scientists know that the layers on top (and the fossils in the top layer) are YOUNGER than the fossils in lower layers.

3 Types of Sedimentary Rocks:
• Clastic (also called Detrial)—made of broken pieces of other rocks
![Page 36: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Organic—remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers
• Examples• Fossil rich limestone is made from
the shells of ocean animals; used to make chalk

•Chemical—minerals dissolved in lakes, seas, or underground water

Examples• Limestone
made when calcite mineral precipitates from sea water
• Rock Salt—made from evaporation of sea waters
![Page 39: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Rocks that have changed due to intense temperature and pressure
• “Meta” means “change” and morphosis means “form” in Greek
• Igneous, sedimentary and other metamorphic rocks can change to become metamorphic rocks
![Page 40: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What occurs in the Earth to change these rocks?
•Pressure from overlying rock layers•High heat, but not enough to melt the
rock•Rocks may be flattened or bent or
atoms may be exchanged to form new minerals.

• *You can think of metamorphic rocks as a squished peanut butter & jelly sandwich in your lunch.
![Page 42: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
How are metamorphic rocks classified?
• Foliated—mineral grains are flattened and line up in parallel bands
• Example: gneiss formed from rearrangement of minerals in granite into bands
![Page 43: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How are metamorphic rocks classified?
• Non-Foliated—No bands are formed
• Example: marble formed from limestone
![Page 44: Rocks](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081602/555726d0d8b42a067f8b4d4c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Where do metamorphic rocks usually form?
• Where magma intrudes relatively cool rock
• Near colliding plates (near mountain ranges)
• Places that are covered miles thick with other rock causing pressure
• When hot water intrudes rock
• Where a meteorite strikes Earth (rare)
• Where lightning bolts strike rocks (rare)
