Good Morning!!! Take out your Mineral Foldable and your Rock Flipbook that we worked on this week and are due TODAY!!! Take out a sheet of paper, tear it in half and share it with a friend!!! We are taking a quiz!!! 1
2
Quiz 4/4/14 1. Name three of the characteristics of a mineral that we learned about while creating the foldable! 2. Name the three main types of rocks 2
3
Minerals and Rocks Minerals – naturally occurring, inorganic substance (no carbon!) Rocks - The solid mineral material forming part of the surface of the earth and other similar planets, exposed on the surface or underlying the soil or oceans 3
4
The Rock Cycle The Relationships among the major rock groups
5
Igneous Rocks –Formed from magma cooling (molten rock) 2 types - –Plutonic (intrusive – formed inside the earth’s crust) –slow cooling and crystallization (large crystals): –Volcanic (extrusion – erupted out of the earth’s crust): quick cooling at the surface (Small Grains/crystals) 5
6
Sedimentary Rocks –Weathering can occur from water, cold and warm temperatures, wind, glaciers –There is also chemical weathering 6 Sedimentary rocks are formed at the Earth’s surface by these 4 steps: Weathering Erosion Deposition Cementation
7
Metamorphic Rocks Were once sedimentary or igneous rock Changed by high pressure and/or high temperatures Temperatures cannot be high enough to cause melting or these rocks will be considered igneous 7

The rock cycle demonstrates the relationships among the three major rock groups It is powered by the interior heat of the Earth As well as earth’s momentum and… The energy from the sun It involves processes on the Earth’s surface as well as the Earth’s interior It connects the “hydrologic cycle” with the “tectonic cycle”. In Conclusion…
