 Core/Mantel/Crust  Asthenosphere: mantel  Lithosphere: crust

Igneous Rocks were the original rocks formed while the Earth cooled. When a rock is melted and allowed to cool, it becomes an igneous rock.

Magma: found in the mantle. Lava under the crust. Lava: liquid rock that is found on top of the crust. Lava comes out of a volcano. There are 2 types of Igneous Rock: 1. Extrusive: this igneous rock is found above the crust and cools quickly producing small rocks. 2. Intrusive: this igneous rock is found underground and cools very slowly, producing large rocks. Example : Granite. The most common rocks found in the Earth’s crust.

 Felsic: is a type of magma that is Al based and are lighter in color. Much lower density.  Mafic: is a type of magma Fe and Mg based and are darker in color.

 Sediments: pieces of solid material that have been deposited on Earth’s surface by wind, water, ice, gravity, or chemical precipitation.  When sediments come together they form sedimentary rocks. This begins with either weathering or erosion.

Bedding ( horizontal layering) Law of Superposition: The rock towards the bottom is older than the rock towards the top.

Pressure and temperature increases with depth….when temperature or pressure increases: rocks melt and form magma. If the rocks do not melt, they are still capable of being distorted Various types of Metamorphic Rocks

 Plate tectonics!  Two types: Continental: thick and less dense plates & Oceanic: thin and dense plates  Movements are: Transform, Convergent, and Divergent

 Name some examplesof landforms that are made from rocks all around the world.

 Name some landforms found in Florida based on movement of plates?

 1. Every table will work as a group.  2. You must decide which rock is metamorphic, igneous, or sedimentary that is on your table AND you must be able to justify it.  3. Using magazines, you must find at LEAST 4 landforms. Cut them out and paste them on a sheet paper. Each landform must have listed the following: What type of landform is it What kind of rock made it What type of plate (type and movement) created it This will be turned in for a grade so be sure to include ALL names and Period Go! :D
