The rock cycle.

There are three different types of rock. Sedimentary rocks Formed when particles are deposited and compressed. Igneous rock Formed by lava from volcanoes or magma. Metamorphic rock sedimentary rock is changed by heat and/or pressure.

Igneous rock. Igneous rock is formed by lava or magma (molten rock) being cooled and becoming solid. They may form either below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks. This magma can be made up of melted pre-existing rocks in either the Earth's mantle or crust. They are mostly made up of interlocking crystals and usually very hard to break. Basalt

Sedimentary rocks Sediments are formed from grains deposited by gravity, water, wind or ice. The sediment grains were from other rocks being weathered and eroded. The sediment grains are transported by wind, ice, rivers and streams to the sea. They are deposited and form in layers called “beds” or “strata”, are compacted and cemented, and quite often contain fossils. Limestone with fossilised shells.

Metamorphic rocks Metamorphic rocks were once igneous, sedimentary, or met. rocks, but have been changed (metamorphosed). They are changed by the intense heat and/or pressure within the Earth’s crust. They are crystalline and often have a “squashed” (foliated or banded) texture. Marble – used to be limestone.

Rock cycle processes

Weathering. Physical weathering, Freeze-thaw occurs when water continually seeps into cracks, freezes and expands, eventually breaking the rock apart. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the mineral grains in rocks to form new minerals (clays) and soluble salts. These reactions occur particularly when the water is slightly acidic. Biological weathering, Trees put down roots through joints or cracks in the rock in order to find moisture. As the tree grows, the roots gradually prize the rock apart.

Erosion and transport. Wind erosion and transport is a serious environmental problem in the driest parts of the world, removing soil from farmland and covering whole towns with sand and dust. Around the world, moving water picks up and transports millions of tons of sediment every day, along rivers, coasts, and even in the deep oceans.

Deposition, burial and compaction. Deposition is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, water, or ice. Sediment can be transported as pebbles, sand & mud, or as salts dissolved in water. Salts may later be deposited by organic activity (e.g. as sea-shells) or by evaporation. As layers are piled one upon another, the sediments beneath are buried, sometimes by hundreds of meters of sediment above. The weight of these layers compacts (squashes down) the sediment grains.

Now put all that we’ve learned together.

For each question below, do a small sketch to help you remember the answer AND answer the question in your notebook: 1. What are the three different types of rocks, their properties, and an example for each one? 2. How are sedimentary rocks made? 3. How are igneous rocks formed? Why do some have large crystals? Why do some have small crystals? 4. How are metamorphic rocks formed? 5. What are the 3 ways rocks are weathered & an example of each type of weathering? 6. How erosion can wear away cliffs. 7. How are sediments transported (eroded) & deposited by rivers?
