1. ROCKS

2. USES ELECTRICITY CONSTRUCTION FLOORING MONUMENTS COARSE SOAP ROADS
CHEWING GUM!!!

3. CHARACTERISTICS NATURAL SOLID MIX OF MINERALS/GRAINS
CHANGE DUE TO EARTH’S PROCESSES
CLASSIFY
-TEXTURE: SIZE AND ARRANGEMENT OF GRAINS AND FORMATION
-COMPOSITION: TYPE OF MINERALS/GRAINS IN ROCK

4. ROCK TYPES IGNEOUS -MAGMA/LAVA COOLS AND CRYSTALLIZES SEDIMENTARY
-SEDIMENT (BREAKING DOWN OF ROCKS DUE TO EARTH’S FORCES) IS ADDED TO LANDFORM
METAMORPHIC
-EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPS AND PRESSURE

6. ROCK CYCLE
ONE ROCK CAN CHANGE INTO ANOTHER ROCK DUE TO FORCES ON EARTH’S SURFACE AND WITHIN EARTH LAYERS

7. IGNEOUS LAVA COOLS FORMS SMALL CRYSTALS (EXTRUSIVE)
MAGMA COOLS FORMS LARGE CRYSTALS (INTRUSIVE)
I.D.
-CRYSTAL SIZE
-MINERAL CONTENT AFFECT COLOR

9. SEDIMENTARY
SEDIMENT DEPOSITS ARE COMPACTED AND CEMENETED TOGETHER FROM EROSION AND WEATHERING
I.D.
-CLASTIC (BROKEN PIECES OR ROCK/MINERAL) SIZE AND SHAPE
-CHEMICAL (DISOLVING MINERALS FROM WATER)
-BIOCHEMICAL (FOSSILS)

11. METAMORPHIC CHANGE DUE TO PRESSURE AND HEAT I.D.
-FOLIATED (FLAT LAYERS OF MINERALS)
-NONFOLIATED (RANDOM ARRANGEMENT OF MINERALS)
