3 Objective 6.10B Classifying Rocks: The student is expected to classify rocks as a metamorphic, igneous, or sedimentary by the processes of their formation

9  A rock is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals, or organic matter  Rocks are classified by how they are formed, their composition, and texture  Rocks change over time through the rock cycle

10  Igneous rock begins as magma.  Magma can form when: ▪ rock is heated ▪ pressure is released ▪ rock changes composition http://www.fi.edu/fellows/payton/rocks/create/igneous.htm

11  Intrusive Igneous Rocks: magma pushes into surrounding rock below the Earth’s surface  Extrusive Igneous Rocks: forms when magma erupts onto the Earth’s surface (lava), cools quickly with very small or no crystals formed http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/earth/geology/ig_intrusive.html&edu=high&fr=t

12 Obsidian What is Obsidian? Obsidian is a dark-colored volcanic glass that forms from the very rapid cooling of molten rock material. It cools so rapidly that crystals do not form. Example: Obsidian- a dark-colored volcanic glass that forms from the very rapid cooling of molten rock material. It cools so rapidly that crystals do not form.

13 http://www.fi.edu/fellows/payton/rocks/create/sediment.htm  Sedimentary rock is formed by erosion  Sediments are moved from one place to another  Sediments are deposited in layers, with the older ones on the bottom  The layers become compacted and cemented together

14  Sedimentary Rocks are formed at or near the Earth’s surface  No heat and pressure involved Examples:  1. Strata – layers of rock  2. Stratification – the process in which sedimentary rocks are arranged in layers

15 3. Clastic – made of fragments of rock cemented together with calcite or quartz

16 4. Organic sedimentary – remains of plants and animals (Example: Coal) Coal is an organic sedimentary rock that forms from the accumulation and preservation of plant materials, usually in a swamp environment. Coal is a combustible rock and along with oil and natural gas it is one of the three most important fossil fuels.
