Natural elements and compounds are minerals.
Rocks are mixtures of minerals.
Rocks make the Earth
Elements combine to make compounds.

James Hutton
Developed the Rock Cycle explaining that rocks don’t stay the same forever; natural physical processes cause them to change from one type to another.

The Rock Cycle.Rocks are neither created nor destroyed, they just
change from one type to another.
The Rock Cycle does not go in
just one direction.
Any given rock can go through any part of the
cycle any number of
times.

Igneous RocksFormed from molten material
![Page 15: The Cycle let’s review some basic information … TheRockThe RockTheRockThe Rock The Rock Cycle Adapted from a Powerpoint by Michigan Department of Environmental.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649f295503460f94c42965/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Igneous= made from fire• Igneous rocks start
as molten rock or magma which may become solid before ever reaching the surface
• Sometimes magma is full of gases like a pop with the cap on.
• When magma reaches the surface pressure is released, gases begin escaping and it’s lava

Igneous Rock• Crystals interlock (grew together )
forming a strong rock. • Magma cools slowly and crystals
have time to grow.• Lava cools quick and the crystals
don’t have time to grow so they’re small or there are none.
• Bigger crystals = slower cooling = deeper

Crystal Size
Rate of cooling determines size of crystals
Fast cooling: no crystals or small crystalsSlow cooling: large crystals

Clues it’s Igneous• If crystals are large, the colors
are randomly spread.• If crystals are small, the color is
even and there may be an occasional big crystal
• May have bubbles• May be made of broken
fragments• May be glass.

Sedimentary Starts with Rocks Being Broken into Smaller Pieces
• Heating and cooling causes rock to expand and shrink.
• Water gets into cracks, freezes and expands, splitting the rock.
• Lichens & plants make acids that dissolve rock. Plant roots split rock.
A process called
weathering

Weathered Rock Erodes• Wind, water and gravity,
cause weathered rock to erode
• Eroding fragments of rock get smaller and more rounded the more they erode.
• Faster water can carry bigger fragments, pieces settle out as the current slows and the water deepens. Sediment Deposition
![Page 30: The Cycle let’s review some basic information … TheRockThe RockTheRockThe Rock The Rock Cycle Adapted from a Powerpoint by Michigan Department of Environmental.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649f295503460f94c42965/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
•Sediment Becomes Rock• New layers are always on top of old layers• Sediment builds up and increased weight causes
sediment to compact• Minerals grow between compacted pieces turning
them into rock

From Sediment to Rock• Most sedimentary rocks are formed through a
series of processes: erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation.

Clues it’s Sedimentary
• Earthy colors (browns, oranges, reds, black, gray, white, clear, sand, mauve, buff, tan, etc.)
• Rounded pieces• Fossils

Metamorphic RocksPressure, heat and fluids cause preexisting materials to becomemetamorphic metamorphic rocks
Metamorphic mountain ranges like the Rockies, Alps and Himalayas are caused by colliding plates

Metamorphic Rock
Metamorphism: Changing of one type of rock to another
by: Heat
Pressure
Chemical reactions
Metamorphism makes rocks stronger or more resistant

Contact Metamorphism
–hot magma pushes through existing rock, heating surrounding rock and changing it to metamorphic.
