3 Main Rock Types Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic
4
Igneous EXTRUSIVE Forms when lava cools quickly on the Earths surface
Forms from molten rock cooling and solidifying INTRUSIVE Magma cools slowly over millions of years deep beneath the surface

6
IGNEOUS---Extrusive Little or NO Crystals!
Lava cools on the surface so fast mineral do not get a chance to form Extrusive rocks can be divided into two categories based on color Dark colors black-brown-red Basalt Obsidian Light colors white-gray-pink Rhyolite

IGNEOUS---Intrusive Large Interlocking Crystals!!!
Magma cools slowly over millions of years… LARGE CRYSTALS FORM Intrusive rocks can also be divided into two categories based on color Dark colors black-brown-green Gabbro Light colors white-gray-pink Granite

3 Main Rock Types Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic
16
How to make a clastic sedimentary rock
Weathering and Erosion Transportation Deposition Compaction and Cementation Sedimentary Rock
17
Sedimentary Chemical Clastic Shale Sandstone Conglomerate
Sedimentary rocks are divided into two categories Chemical Mineral are dissolved in to the water…water is evaporated off and leaves behind chemical sedimentary rocks Examples are Halite, Limestone and Gypsum Clastic Made from eroded fragments of other rocks Shale Microscope grains of mud cemented together Sandstone Sand grains cemented together Conglomerate Pebble to boulder size fragments cemented together

3 Main Rock Types Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic
20
Metamorphic rocks form from HEAT&PRESSURE
Two types of metamorphism Contact Rock surrounding a magma body get cooked and changes due Regional Tectonic forces Metamorphism occurs over a large area
21
Contact Metamorphism Deep underground, zones of metamorphism form around the hot magma of batholiths. L.Gardiner/Windows Original
22
Regional Metamorphism
Tectonic forces smash continents together. The rocks get heated and become semi-molten. The added pressure causes the mineral to separate into bands and sometime to even flow before cooling again!
23
How are Metamorphic rocks formed?
24
Common Metamorphic Rocks
Parent Rock Metamorphic Rock Granite Gneiss Shale Slate Sandstone Quartzite
25
Foliated - vs. - Non Foliated
Foliated: These types of metamorphic rock are distinctly layered. This is due to the immense directional pressure that the rock is exposed to.
26
Foliated Examples
27
Foliated - vs. - Non-Foliated
As opposed to the foliated metamorphic rocks, the non-foliated rocks are not distinctly layered. This is probably because non-foliated rocks were exposed to high temperature conditions, but not to high directional pressure conditions.
28
Non – Foliated Examples
Marble from Limestone Quartzite from Sandstone
