Some Rocks are made up of just one mineral- like rocksalt (made up of the mineral halite) that is mined near Detroit. Others Rocksare made up of many minerals - like the granitesand gneisses (made up of feldspars, quartz, and other minerals) found near Marquette.
What is theRockCycle ? The rock cycle is a sequence of events involving the formation, alteration, destruction, and reformation of rocks as a result of natural processes such as magmatism (melting of rock into magma), erosion, transportation, deposition, lithification, and metamorphism. Glossary of Geology, Bates & Jackson, AGI
The mantle, crust and surface of the earthcan be thought of as a giant recycling machine; rocks are neither created nor destroyed, but redistributed and transformed from one rock type to another. http://www.science.ubc.ca/~geol202/rock_cycle/rockcycle.html March 2000
TheRock Cycleinvolves the recognition of three main classes of rocks all of which are found in Utah. The three rock types are …
SedimentaryRocks MetamorphicRocks IgneousRocks CEMETERY INGENIOUS METABOLIC Right?
Igneous Igneous means “born of fire”
Igneous Rock... • is formed when sediments are melted and cooled
Igneous ... • Cools Very Fast - glassy with holes • Cools Fast - glassy • Cools Slow- small crystals • Cools Very Slow- large crystals. As Cooling Time increases, Crystal Size increases.
Bedrock Mag-ma!
Into the Bedrock On top (Exit) intrusive extrusive (crystals) (no crystals)
Sedimentary rock... • is formed when sediment that has been broken down in some way is pressed and cemented together.
Sedimentary rocks are usually formed in a watery environment. • Often layered • Are the only rocks that contain fossils
Sedimentary Rock... • Can have thick or thin layers • Loosely Compacted • Have distinct particles • (Usually) dull luster
Metamorphic rock... • is formed when rocks are changed by heat and pressure.
metamorphic... • Metamorphic rocks will often have foliation or a distorted structure.
Bands (can) form Metamorphic means “changed” Metamorphic!
Metamorphic... • Usually have Thin layers • Are Tightly Compacted • Have Blurred or stretched particles • & are Usually shiny
