3 THREE TYPES OF ROCKS

4 IGNEOUS ROCK

6 SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

7 CLASTIC SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

8 Weathering and Erosion TransportationDeposition Compaction and Cementation Sedimentary Rock

9 ORGANIC SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

10 Primarily made from the remains of once living things

11 The Good Earth, Chapter 7: Rocks and Minerals May form from the remains of dead organisms − Chalk formed from billions of coccoliths, round plates of calcite from microscopic (clay-sized) coccolithophore organisms − Chalk is a type of limestone Biochemical Sedimentary Rocks BIOCHEMICAL SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

13 The Good Earth, Chapter 7: Rocks and Minerals Two types of metamorphism 1.Contact metamorphism Changes due to increases in temperature where rocks come in contact with heat source (e.g. magma chamber) − Example: limestone around a magma chamber is baked by the heat to form marble Marble (above) and limestone have similar composition but marble typically has a larger grain size METAMORPHIC ROCKS

14 Common Metamorphic Rocks Parent RockMetamorphic Rock GraniteGneiss ShaleSlate SandstoneQuartzite
