  1. Bellringer – The Rock Cycle

  2. Bellringer – Rock Cycle

  3. Lesson 10 Minerals, Rocks, and the Rock Cycle Minerals – An inorganic solid that occurs naturally and has a definite chemical composition and structure. Rocks– Naturally occurring solid material made up of one or more minerals. Before we move on with rocks and the rock cycle we need to answer a question about the minerals that make them up. How can you tell the hardness of a mineral? And the answer is……………………

  4. Minerals, Rocks, and the Rock Cycle This scale ranks the hardness of minerals from 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest (talc) and 10 being the hardest (diamond). Mohs Scale

  5. Minerals, Rocks and the Rock Cycle There are 3 types of rock! 1. Igneous 2. Sedimentary 3. Metamorphic Let’s look at these 3!!

  6. IGNEOUS Rock Rock that forms when melted rock cools and solidifies Ex: Granite & Basalt Some form from Magma-- melted rock below Earth’s surface Some form from Lava-- Melted rock (magma) that reaches Earth’s surface

  7. Sedimentary rock ¾ of rocks on Earth’s surface Rock formed from sediments (small pieces of broken rock) that have become compacted and cemented together Ex: limestone & sandstone

  8. Metamorphic rock rock formed from other rock by high heat and pressure inside Earth Ex: marble & slate

  9. How many types of rock are there? What is magma? Use the above picture to answer the questions.

  10. Complete the following graphic organizer by placing the following terms in the correct order: magma, igneous rock, metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock, sediment magma metamorphic rock igneous rock sedimentaryrock sediment

  11. Let’s Review the Rock Cycle!
