1 ROCK CYCLE

2 Igneous - Crystallization Molten rock material cools = liquid to solid

3 Intrusive – slow cool = long time for crystallization large crystals developed

4 Extrusive – rapid cooling traps air creating large pores

5 Sedimentary - Lithification Weather – break down – wind, water, ice, plants Erode – move – water, wind Deposit – drop off in low spot Compact – pile up Cement – minerals left when water evaporates

6 Minerals from H 2 O

7 Sedimentary rocks are classified by - parent material Detrital Rock sediments Organic Living matter Shells - Limestone Organic matter - Coal Chemical Mineral Deposits Rock salt – salt licks

8 Detrital – classified by sediment size

9 Metamorphic - Metamorphism Metamorphism – existing rocks changed by extreme pressure & some heat deep in Earth’s crust

10 Metamorphic - types Foliated = layered Non -foliated + pressure
