6.1: Rocks and the Rock Cycle

9. Rocks
The material that makes up the solid parts of the Earth is known as rock.
There are 3 major types of rocks:
Igneous
Sedimentary
Metamorphic

10. Types of Rock

11. 3 Types of Rock Igneous Rock is formed from volcanic activity (heat).
Made from hot magma
Sedimentary Rock is formed from small pieces (sediments) of other rocks and minerals compacting and cementing over time.
Sediments form from breaking down (weathering and erosion).
Metamorphic Rocks are formed when existing rocks are changed by heat or pressure.

12. Law of Conservation of Matter
What does it mean to conserve something?
Law of Conservation of Matter: Matter cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one thing to another.

13. The Rock Cycle
Any of these 3 types of rocks can be changed into the others through a process called the rock cycle.

14. Rock Cycle Worksheet
Complete the back of your Guided Notes Sheet as your practice for the day.
We will go over this tomorrow!
