I. 6.1 rocks and the Rock Cycle

5. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
a. What are rocks?
Rocks are the materials that make up the solid part of the Earth.
Rocks can contain different types of minerals.

6. b. Why are rocks important?
J. Nguyen – Physical Science
b. Why are rocks important?
Rock is an important natural resource.
Used by early humans to make tools such as hammers, spears, knives, and scrapers.
Used for centuries to make buildings, roads, and monuments.
Certain types of rocks have helped build ancient and modern civilizations.
Rock study has helped scientists to discover the history of life on Earth.

7. c. There are three major types of rocks.
J. Nguyen – Physical Science
c. There are three major types of rocks.
Igneous rock – rock formed when magma cools and hardens
Magma is called lava when it is exposed at Earth’s surface.
Example: granite

8. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
Sedimentary rock – rock formed from sediment deposits compressed or cemented together
Sediment is rocks, mineral crystals, and organic matter that have been broken into fragments.
When sediments get laid on top each other over and over, they eventually get cemented together and harden and results in sedimentary rock.
Example: sandstone

9. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
Metamorphic rock – rock formed from certain forces and processes that can change the form of existing rock
Processes can include tremendous pressure, extreme heat and chemical changes.
Example: gneiss

10. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
D. The rock cycle shows the relationship among the three types of rocks.
Any of the three major types of rocks can be changed into another of the three types.
The series of changes from one rock type into another rock type is called the rock cycle.
Much of the rock in Earth’s continental crust has passed through the rock cycle many times during Earth’s history.

11. The Rock Cycle – color the arrows and fill in the information.

The Rock Cycle – color the arrows and fill in the information.

12. E. Rocks have several properties.
J. Nguyen – Physical Science
E. Rocks have several properties.
All rocks have physical and chemical properties that are determined by how and where the rock formed.
Bowen’s reaction series is a simplified pattern that explains the order in which minerals form as magma solidifies.
Chemical stability of minerals is the measure of a chemical compound’s ability to maintain its original chemical composition rather than change into something else.
Physical stability of rocks refers to the zones of weakness that are determined by how and where the rocks form.

II. 6.2 igneous rock

16. Felsic rock – contains large proportion of silica
J. Nguyen – Physical Science
A. Igneous rocks are placed into one of three families based on chemical composition.
Felsic rock – contains large proportion of silica
Mafic rock – lower proportion of silica but large amounts of iron and magnesium
Intermediate rock – in-between group; lower silica than felsic but higher than mafic

17. b. Magma and Rocks Magma is the parent material for all rocks.
J. Nguyen – Physical Science
b. Magma and Rocks
Magma is the parent material for all rocks.
From the minute it cools and hardens, the resulting igneous rock forms and begins to change.

18. There are two main groups of igneous rocks:
J. Nguyen – Physical Science
There are two main groups of igneous rocks:
Intrusive igneous rocks – rocks formed from magma that has cooled underneath the Earth’s surface
Extrusive igneous rocks – rocks formed from lava cooled at Earth’s surface

19. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
c. Intrusions are formed when magma intrudes into other rock masses. There are different intrusion structures.

20. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
Batholiths and stocks
Batholiths are the largest group of all intrusions spreading over at least 100km3.
Stocks are smaller in size than batholiths.
Both form the core of many mountain ranges.

21. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
Laccoliths
magma flows between rock layers and spreads upward, pushing other rock layers into a dome
dome

22. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
Sills and Dikes
Sills are formed when magma flows between rocks and hardens.
Dikes are formed when the magma flows up existing vertical fractures.

Iii. 6.3 sedimentary rock

28. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
A. Sedimentary rocks are classified based on process in which they are formed and the composition of the rocks.

29. b. There are Two main processes that form Sedimentary rocks.
J. Nguyen – Physical Science
b. There are Two main processes that form Sedimentary rocks.
Compaction – process in which sediment is squeezed and in which the size of the pore space between sediment grains is reduced by the weight and pressure of overlying layers
Cementation – process in which sediments are glued together by minerals that are deposited by water

30. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
c. There are three classes of sedimentary rocks based on their composition.
Chemical sedimentary rock – rock formed from minerals that were once dissolved in water
When enough minerals evaporate, the remaining minerals can come out of the water.
Examples: gypsum & halite

31. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
Organic sedimentary rock – rock formed from the remains of living things
Examples: coal & limestone

32. J. Nguyen – Physical Science
Clastic sedimentary rock – rock formed from rock fragments carried away from their original source; are classified by one of three sizes:

33. Conglomerate – made of fragments ranging from fine mud to boulders
