  1. The Rock Cycle • Where do they come from? Where do they go?

  2. What are rocks? • Naturally occurring • solids • made of minerals • no definite chemical composition • Preserve Earth’s history when formed

  3. What are the 3 major rock types? • Igneous • Sedimentary • metamorphic

  4. Igneous • Made from molten lava or magma (fire) • magma = below ground • forms intrusive igneous rocks • lava = above ground • forms extrusive igneous rocks • Can have large or small crystals • Some cool too quick for gases to escape and leave bubbles

  5. How are igneous rocks classified? • felsic - Light rocks that contain high amounts of silica • intermediate - contain between 52 - 62 % silica • mafic - Dark rocks that contain little silica • ultramafic - very dense with very little silica • intrusive - formed above ground • extrusive - formed below ground http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/investigations/es0602/es0602page02.cfm

  6. Sedimentary • Formed from compaction and cementation of weathered materials • sediments from weathered rock are deposited • weathering - breaking down of rock • erosion - carrying rock away (usually by water) • Some are formed biologically - coal, limestone • Often contain FOSSILS!!! http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/investigations/es0602/es0602page02.cfm

  7. Fossils • fossilized body parts - bones, teeth, skin, embryos, etc... • fossil traces - burrows, footprints, poop, etc... • ONLY occur in sedimentary rock http://www.footprints-science.co.uk/fossils.htm

  8. Metamorphic Rock • Formed by heat and pressure • Usually form deep within Earth’s crust • Can have foliation • banding that occurs from great stress and pressure, flattens crystals in pre -existing rock • must have parent rock http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es0607/es0607page01.cfm http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/investigations/es0602/es0602page02.cfm

  9. Are there types of metamorphism? • YES!!! • contact metamorphism - parent rock comes in contact with a heat source, such as magma • regional metamorphism - changes to country rock over a large area • plutons - small bodies of metamorphosed country rock • batholiths - very large bodies of metamorphosed country rock

  10. Rock cycle • The dynamic changes of rocks between different types over time • changes through: • heat and pressure • melting • weathering and erosion

  12. What is the rock cycle driven by? • heat from Earth’s core • mantle convection - circular motion of heat in Earth’s mantle • mechanical energy - movement of rocks and pieces of rock downward by gravity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53lMdHzvGCQ
