Today’s Agenda… 4-26 Bellringer: How do igneous rocks form?
Finish notes from yesterday Notes on Metamorphic Rock Study Pack #3 Homework
2
Igneous Rocks How do igneous rocks form?
What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks? How do basaltic, granitic, and andesitic rocks compare? Types of Igneous Rock
3
Metamorphic Rocks Study Pack #3 Page 67
4
Today’s Goals… I can describe the conditions in Earth that cause metamorphic rocks to form. I can classify metamorphic rocks as foliated or nonfoliated.
5
Metamorphic Rock Rocks that have changed because of changes in temperature and pressure or the presence of hot, watery fluids are called metamorphic rocks Change form, composition, or both Can form from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rock – parent rocks
6
Metamorphic Rock Do not form when rock melts, only when it is close enough to magma to be heated up
7
Metamorphic Rock Rocks are under great pressure from layers of rocks above them Temperature increases with depth in the Earth See it happen!
8
Metamorphic Rock Granite to Gneiss Shale to Slate
9
Metamorphic Rocks Sometimes hot fluids move through a rock and change its chemical composition Page 68, Figure 8
10
Classifying Metamorphic Rock
Rocks can be classified based on their composition and texture Foliated Nonfoliated
11
Foliated Rocks Rocks have layers of mineral grains
Example: slate and gneiss
12
Foliated Rocks Slate is used for paving pools and patios and roofing and tiling many surfaces
13
Nonfoliated Rocks Little or no layering Example: quartzite, marble
