Rock ClassificationRock Classification

All rocks fit into 3 categories Igneous, Sedimentary, and MetamorphicIgneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic

Rock CycleRock Cycle We just learned about the 3

types of rocks, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic

As it turns out, Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock.

Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock.

The The Rock Rock CycleCycle

If we weather and

erode Igneous rocks,

sediments form

If you compact and

cement sediment,

sedimentary rock will form

Sand Sandstone

If we add heat and

pressure to sedimentary rock,

metamorphic rock will form

If we melt metamorphic rock,

it turn back in igneous rock

Igneous rocks forms

from the cooling

and hardening of magma

Now were back

to where we started!

Igneous RocksIgneous Rocks Igneous rocks, are rocks that

were once lava or magma and simply cooled into solid rock!

So, when volcanoes erupt, new igneous rocks are formed!

Or, when magma cools slowly underground, new rock is also formed!

Igneous Rock Igneous Rock ClassificationClassification

Igneous rocks are classified by their color and crystal size

Igneous Rocks that form below ground are called intrusive (inside or interior) igneous Rocks

Igneous rocks that form above the ground are called extrusive igneous rocks

Finally, dark colored igneous rocks are called Mafic and lighter colored igneous rocks are called felsic

Extrusive Igneous Rock:

Outside the earth

Fast Cooling Small Crystals

Ex: Basalt

Intrusive Igneous Rock:Inside the earth

Slow Cooling Large Crystals

Ex: Granite

Topic: Sedimentary Rock

Objectives: I will learn about weathering, erosion

and deposition and how it affects rocks I will learn about clastic sedimentary

rocks and the conditions under which they formed

Weathering Erosion Deposition & Stratification

In order for us to learn about sedimentary rocks, we need to first learn about weathering, erosion deposition and stratification

Weathering is the breaking down of rock into smaller pieces by the action of water and wind

Erosion is the removal and transport of rocks by water and wind

Deposition is the dropping and accumulation of rock into layers

Stratification is the layering of sediment

Weathering is the

breaking down of rock

into smaller pieces by

of water, wind and gravity

Erosion is the removal

and transport of rocks

by water, wind and gravity

Deposition is

the dropping and

accumulation of rock

Stratification is

the layering of sediment

Erosion:Erosion is the removal and transport

of rocks by water, wind and gravity

Deposition:The dropping and accumulation

Of sediment over time

Stratification:The layering of

sediment

What is Weathering, Erosion, What is Weathering, Erosion, Deposition & Stratification?Deposition & Stratification?

Weathering – breaking down of rock

Sedimentary Sedimentary Rocks (clastic)Rocks (clastic)

Now that we have broken down rock into sediment, we can make sedimentary rock

Clastic Sedimentary Rock forms through deposition, stratification (layering) and lithification process

Lithification literally means “To make Rock”

The lithification involves compacting and cementing sediment

becomes metamorphic rock

Metamorphic RocksMetamorphic Rocks

Igneous rocks are born of fire Sedimentary rocks are formed by

weathering and erosion But how do Metamorphic Rocks Form? The last type of rock we will study is

called metamorphic rock

Metamorphic RocksMetamorphic Rocks

The word “Metamorphic” or “Morph” means to change

So, how do rocks change? By HeatHeat and PressurePressure In order to understand Metamorphic

Rocks, we need to understand how heat and pressure can change a pre-existing rock

Metamorphic RocksMetamorphic Rocks Rocks, deep below

the earth’s surface are under a great deal of pressure from the over lying rock

These same rocks are also deep down where temperatures are much hotter
