Chapter 3 Rocks

Rocks 3.1 The Rock Cycle  Rocks are any solid mass of mineral or mineral-like matter occurring naturally as part of our planet.  Types of Rocks 1. Igneous rock is formed by the crystallization of molten magma.

3.1 The Rock Cycle Rocks  Types of Rocks 2. Sedimentary rock is formed from the weathered products of preexisting rocks that have been transported, deposited, compacted, and cemented. 3. Metamorphic rock is formed by the alteration of pre-existing rock deep within Earth (but still in the solid state) by heat, pressure, and/or chemically active fluids.

3.1 The Rock Cycle The Rock Cycle  Shows the interrelationships among the three rock types (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic)  Magma is molten material that forms deep beneath the Earth’s surface.  Lava is magma that reaches the surface.  Weathering is a process in which rocks are broken down by water, air, and living things.  Sediment is weathered pieces of Earth elements.

3.1 The Rock Cycle Energy That Drives the Rock Cycle  Processes driven by heat from the Earth’s interior are responsible for forming both igneous rock and metamorphic rock.  Weathering and the movement of weathered materials are external processes powered by energy from the sun.  External processes produce sedimentary rocks.

3.2 Igneous Rocks Formation of Igneous Rocks 1. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma hardens beneath Earth’s surface. 2. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed when lava hardens.

Extrusive Igneous SCORIA *BASALT *OBSIDIAN *PUMICE

3.2 Igneous Rocks Classification of Igneous Rocks  Igneous rocks can be classified based on their composition and texture. 1. Texture • Coarse-grained texture is caused by slow cooling resulting in larger crystals. • Fine-grained texture is caused by rapid cooling resulting in smaller, interconnected mineral grains.

Course-Grained Igneous Texture

Fine-Grained Igneous Texture

3.2 Igneous Rocks Classification of Igneous Rocks 1. Texture (continued) • Glassy texture is caused by very rapid cooling. • Porphyritic texture is caused by different rates of cooling resulting in varied sized minerals. 2. Composition • Granitic composition rocks are made mostly of light-colored quartz and feldspar.

Granitic Composition Rhyolite - Extrusive Granite - Intrusive

Obsidian Exhibits a Glassy Texture.

Porphyritic Igneous Texture

3.2 Igneous Rocks Classification of Igneous Rocks 2. Composition (continued) • Basaltic composition rocks are made mostly of dark-colored silicate minerals and plagioclase feldspar. • Andesitic composition rocks are between granitic light-color minerals and basaltic composition dark-colored minerals. • Ultramafic composition rocks are made mostly from iron and magnesium-rich minerals.

Classification of Igneous Rocks

3.3 Sedimentary Rocks Formation of Sedimentary Rocks  Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition • Erosion involves the weathering and the removal of rock. • Deposition occurs when an agent of erosion—water, wind, ice, or gravity—loses energy and drops sediments.

3.3 Sedimentary Rocks Formation of Sedimentary Rocks  Compaction and Cementation • Compaction is a process that squeezes, or compacts, sediments. • Cementation takes place when dissolved minerals are deposited in the tiny spaces among the sediments.

3.3 Sedimentary Rocks Classification of Sedimentary Rocks  Two Main Groups 1. Clastic sedimentary rocks are composed of weathered bits of rocks and minerals. • Classified by particle size • Common rocks include - Shale (most abundant) - Sandstone - Conglomerate

CLASTIC SEDIMENTARY EXAMPLES *CONGLOMERATE - SEDIMENT HAS ROUNDED EDGES BRECCIA - SEDIMENT HAS SHARP EDGES

CLASTIC SEDIMENTARY EXAMPLES *SHALE - CLAY SIZE PARTICLES HELD BY COMPACTION *SANDSTONE - SAND SIZE PARTICLES HELD BY COMPACTION OR CEMENTATION

Shale with Plant Fossils

Conglomerate

3.3 Sedimentary Rocks Classification of Sedimentary Rocks  Two Main Groups 2. Chemical sedimentary rocks form when dissolved substances precipitate, or separate, from water. Common rocks include - limestone—most abundant chemical rock - microcrystalline quartz known as chert, flint, jasper, or agate - evaporites such as rock salt or gypsum - coal

CHEMICAL SEDIMENTARY EXAMPLES *LIMESTONE - CALCITE AND OTHER MINERALS PRECIPITATE OUT Coquina Limestone

CHEMICAL SEDIMENTARY EXAMPLES ROCK SALT - HALITE AND OTHER MINERALS PRECIPITATE OUT Rock Salt

CHEMICAL SEDIMENTARY EXAMPLES CHALK – microscopic deposits of algae and plankton

They may be fossil rich

Fossiliferous Limestone

Classification of Sedimentary Rocks

3.3 Sedimentary Rocks Features of Some Sedimentary Rocks  Features of sedimentary rocks are clues to how and where the rocks are formed

3.4 Metamorphic Rocks Formation of Metamorphic Rocks  Metamorphism means “to change form.”  Most metamorphic changes occur at elevated temperatures and pressures.  Conditions for formation are found a few kilometers below the Earth’s surface and extend into the upper mantle.

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

3.4 Metamorphic Rocks Formation of 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

3.4 Metamorphic Rocks Agents of Metamorphism  Heat  Pressure Provides the energy needed to drive chemical reactions  Pressure Causes a more compact rock with greater density

Origin of Pressure in Metamorphism

3.4 Metamorphic Rocks Agents of Metamorphism  Hydrothermal Solutions Hot water-based solutions escaping from the mass of magma Promote recrystallization by dissolving original minerals and then depositing new ones

3.4 Metamorphic Rocks Classification of Metamorphic Rocks  Two main categories 1. Foliated Metamorphic Rock Has a banded or layered appearance 2. Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rock Does not have a banded texture

FOLIATED METAMORPHIC EXAMPLES *SLATE – parent rock is shale *SCHIST – parent rock is slate

FOLIATED METAMORPHIC EXAMPLES *GNEISS TYPE OF ROCK OFTEN DEPENDS UPON PRESSURE SHALE  SLATE  PHYLLITE  SCHIST  GNEISS OR GRANITE  SCHIST

Gneiss Typically Displays a Banded Appearance

NONFOLIATED METAMORPHIC EXAMPLES *QUARZTITE – parent rock is sandstone *MARBLE – parent rock is limestone or dolomite
