Show what you know… hardness Sedimentary Sedimentary
SPI The mineral’s resistance to being scratched is known as the mineral’s __________. SPI What type of rock is known for stratification? SPI What type of rock is formed by compaction and cementation? hardness Sedimentary Sedimentary
3
Show what you know… By which process does metamorphic rock become sediment? Heat and pressure Cooling Weathering and erosion Melting
4
This week’s plan:
5
Today’s Goals: Describe the processes that drive the rock cycle.
Identify the three different types of rocks.
6
Sedimentary Rock Formed by compacting and cementing
Has strata (layers) Layers from deposition contains fossils EXAMPLES: Conglomerate Sandstone Siltstone Shale Limestone
7
Metamorphic Rock Examples: Marble Slate Schist Formed by heat/pressure
Deep in the Earth Foliated=grains are in bands Nonfoliated=grain are not in bands Recrystallization=crystals change in size or minerals change in composition Examples: Marble Slate Schist
8
Metamorphic Rock
9
Igneous Rock Ex. Granite Ex. Rhyolite Intrusive:
*Cools beneath earth’s surface *Cools very slowly *Creates large crystals Extrusive: *Cools above earth’s surface *Cools quickly *Creates very small crystals Formed by melting and cooling There are two types: Intrusive and Extrusive Ex. Granite Ex. Rhyolite
10
Rock Identification Activity
At each station, there is a different rock. Observe the rock in great detail. Use the guide to identify the rock as either a SEDIMENTARY, METAMORPHIC, or IGNEOUS rock. Challenge! If time allows, use the second key to identify the specific name for the rock. Rotate on the SQUEAK!
14
Show what you know… Can a sedimentary rock be made from metamorphic rocks? Why or why not?
