4-4 pgs. 95-99 IN: What are some ways that sedimentary rock can form? Can you classify the four we looked at?
2
sedimentary rock sediment magma cooling, crystallization weathering and erosion compaction, cementation melting high temperature great pressure igneous rock metamorphic rock
3
Rocks in which the structure, texture, or composition of the rock has changed.
4
Heat and/or pressure. Metamorphism does not melt rock- when rock melts, it becomes magma and then igneous rock.
5
Metamorphic change takes place at depths greater than 2 km. The temperature at which metamorphism occurs ranges from 50 o C to 1,000 o C.
6
Contact ◦ In contact with magma. Regional ◦ Heat and pressure cause rock to chemically change.
7
When rock comes into contact with magma.
8
When enormous pressure builds up in rock that is deeply buried under other rock formations, or when large pieces of the Earth’s crust collide.
9
The mineral composition of a rock changes when the minerals it is made of recrystallize to from new minerals.
10
Some metamorphic minerals form only within specific range of temperature and pressure conditions. ◦ Muscovite mica ◦ 700 o C ◦ 5-34 km
11
Many of these new minerals occur only in metamorphic rock. ◦ Chlorite ◦ Muscovite mica ◦ Garnet
12
Foliated ◦ Contain aligned mineral grains. Nonfoliated ◦ Do not contain aligned minerals grains.
13
Metamorphic rock can become other metamorphic rocks if the environment changes again. ◦ shale slate phyllite schist gneiss
14
Made of only one, or just a few, minerals.
15
Metamorphic rock formed from shale and used for tiling. ◦ Foliated
16
Metamorphic rock that is formed from slate metamorphosing again. ◦ Foliated
17
Metamorphic rock formed from the igneous rock granite. ◦ Foliated
18
Metamorphic rock formed from limestone and used for sculpture. ◦ Non-foliated
19
◦ Sandstone Quartzite ◦ Limestone Marble ◦ Shale Slate ◦ Granite or Shale Gneiss
20
OUT: What some features of metamorphic rocks?
