5 INTRUSIVE ROCKS EXTRUSIVE ROCKS formed when magma hardens beneath Earth’s surface. formed when lava hardens above the Earth’s surface Example: Appearance: Igneous Rocks Formed by crystallization of magma

6 Classification of Igneous Rocks

7 CLASTIC CHEMICAL composed of weathered bits of rocks and minerals dissolved substances precipitate, or separate, from water Examples: conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, shale Examples:l imestone, travertine, chalk, gypsum, rock salt Appearance: course to fine grained Appearance: course to fine grained crystalline Sedimentary Rocks Formed when igneous rock is weathered and eroded and settles at the bottom of oceans and lakes.

8 Classification of Sedimentary Rocks

9 Formation of Metamorphic Rocks 3.4 Metamorphic Rocks  Contact metamorphism occurs when magma moves into rock. Changes are driven by a rise in temperature. Occurs near a body of magma

10 Formation of Metamorphic Rocks 3.4 Metamorphic Rocks  Regional metamorphism results in large- scale deformation and high-grade metamorphism. Directed pressures and high temperatures occur during mountain building. Produces the greatest volume of metamorphic rock

11 Classification of Metamorphic Rocks
