Igneous Rocks. Rocks formed from cooling of lava or magma. Lava-Melted rock erupted from volcanoes and deposited on the earth’s surface. Cools quickly.. Magma-Melted rock that sits inside the earth in a magma chamber. Cools slowly.. Sedimentary rocks cover ~ 75% of Earth’s surface. ~ 5 % (by volume) of Earth’s outer 10 miles. Contain evidence of past environments:. Important resource. Coal, oil, and other fossil fuels. Groundwater resources. The Plentiful Sea. Chapter 4- Lesson 3. Pgs. 116-121. Chapter Review: pgs. 122-123. FOCUS ON THE MAIN IDEA:. Chesapeake Bay and other bays in the Northeast provide seafood for millions. .. PLACES:. Mineral and Rock Vocabulary. Rock. Rock is a solid mixture of crystals of one or more minerals. Rocks are categorized into 3 types on how they are made. Each rock in each category is classified (named) by its TEXTURE and COMPOSITION. 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. 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: .

Widespread areas of greater than 15cm snowfall in Upstate NY and New England with areas of greater than 30 cm snowfall within this region. . Third of fourth major snowstorm of the season. Boston would go on to break seasonal snowfall record.. Types of Rocks. Rock: an aggregate of one or more minerals. Igneous Rocks: crystallize from a magma. Sedimentary Rocks. Clastic: formed by the erosion of pre-existing rocks. Chemical/Biochemical: precipitated from chemical reactions. Key Message #1. 18. Ch. 18 | Northeast. Changing Seasons Affect Rural Ecosystems, . Environments, and Economies. The Northeast’s coast and ocean support commerce, tourism, and recreation that are important to the region’s economy and way of life. Warmer ocean temperatures, sea level rise, and ocean acidification threaten these services. The adaptive capacity of marine ecosystems and coastal communities will influence ecological and socioeconomic outcomes as climate risks increase. . Warren R. Snyder. Science & Operations Officer.
