PPT-Rocks

Material that forms the earths crust What are rocks made from Rocks are made up of different minerals These minerals are held together by a natural cement There are many different types of rocks with different mineral content hardness and texture . Hot rocks/Fire Rocks. Igneous Rock . Igneous rocks form . when molten rock cools and solidifies. . Molten rock is called magma when it is below the Earth’s surface and lava when it is above.. when molten rock cools and solidifies. (pages 102–106). 1. Describe how sedimentary rocks form.. 2. List and describe the three major types of sedimentary rocks.. Objectives. write these down!. Sediment. Erosion. Deposition. C. ompaction. Metamorphism. Metamorphic rocks: appear to have changed in their structure or chemical composition since their creation or formation.. Originally sedimentary or igneous. Altered by heat, pressure, or exposure to hot fluids in earth’s crust. Rocks that crystallized directly from a melt. Igneous rocks . Form as magma cools and crystallizes . Rocks formed inside Earth are called . plutonic. or intrusive rocks . Rocks formed on the surface . HIGHER-GRADE REGIONAL METAMORPHICS. Gneiss and Eclogite. 2. High-Grade Regional Metamorphic Facies. Rocks in this laboratory represent high to very high grade regional metamorphic rock. Facies represented are the amphibiolite, granulite, and eclogite facies. Bell ringer: . Looking at the pictures, what do you think metamorphic rocks are? . What are Metamorphic Rocks? . Metamorphism means “to change form”.. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form when . UNIT . 5. What are Sediments. Sediments are loose Earth materials (unconsolidated materials) such as sand . which are . transported by the action of water, wind, glacial ice and . gravity.. These . materials are . Sedimentary-sandstone. Metamorphic- gneiss. Igneous- diorite. 1. What is a Rock?. Naturally Occurring . (not man made). Solid. Mixture of minerals other organic matter. 2. What makes a rock different from a mineral?. Copy the table below and explain the following clues that can be found in rocks.. . Clues. What the clue tells us?. Magnetic particles in rocks.. Fossils in the rocks.. Ripples in the rocks.. Minerals in the rocks. What do rocks look like?. Is this what you thought of?. Or this?. OR THIS????. OR…. THIS!!!!. Rocks can be small or big!. We are going to learn 3 different rocks and how they are made!. Igneous Rock. Sedimentary Rocks. Metamorphic Rocks. 1. NPS. Why are minerals & rocks important?. Geologic processes depend upon geologic materials . . volcanic . eruptions. earthquakes. landslides. erosion . Rocks are classified by how they are formed, their composition, and texture. Rocks change over time through the rock cycle. TYPES OF ROCKS. ROCKS ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS BASED ON HOW THE ROCKS . a. metamorphic rock. . b. sedimentary rock. . c. igneous rock. d. sediment. . #1. Which of the following processes is NOT part of the rock cycle?. a. solidification. . b. chiseling. c. erosion. d. metamorphism. Sedimentary rocks form in 1 of 3 ways:. 1. . Clastic. Sedimentary Rocks- made of pieces and grains of other rocks. Material such as . sand . or . mud. -usually deposited in . water. Conglomerate sandstone.
