Compare Igneous RockSedimentary Rock
2
Clastic Sedimentary Rock
4
Sedimentary Rock How do those layers form? Order or process: WeatheringErosionDeposition Cementation & Compaction
5
Mechanical Weathering Disintegration/rock broken into smaller pieces Disintegration – Frost Action Frost Action – Abrasion (river, glacial, sandy environment) Abrasion – Plants and Animals #2 Plants and Animals #2
6
Chemical Weathering Decomposition-rock’s minerals are changed into different substances. – Acid Rain – Oxidation Oxidation – Hydrolysis Hydrolysis – Caves Caves
7
Which minerals are susceptible? Chemical Weathering – Calcite Mechanical Weathering – Quartz, angular minerals
8
Chemical Weathering What affects the rate? Faster Chemical Weathering – Warm and Moist climate Faster Physical Weathering – Cold and Wet Climate
15
Erosion The transport of sediments/particles from a weathered rock by – Water – Wind – Glacier – Gravity
16
Water Distinguishing Characteristics: – rounded edges
17
Wind Distinguishing Characteristics – Flatten sand surfaces: Sand dune
19
Glaciers Distinguishing Characteristics – Striations-special scratch by minerals Striations
20
Effects of Erosion Landslide Mudslide
21
Evidence of stream Erosion
22
Evidence of Glacial Erosion U Shape Valley
26
Sorted vs. Unsorted
28
Factors of Deposition Size Density Shape
29
Two types of deposition Water - sortedsorted Glacier - unsorted
30
Alpine Glacier Slow moving stream of ice that flows within valley walls
31
Juneau Icefield in Alaska
32
Arrete cirque Horn
35
Continental Glacier Glacier that covers a large part of a continent Ex: Greenland, Antarctica
37
Glacial Depositional Features
39
Moraine and Till Till - Unconsolidated and unsorted rock material that is deposited by a retreating or melting glacier Moraine – The accumulation of glacial till
40
Drumlin Elongated whale-shaped hill formed by past glacial action as it moves over the till
41
Drumlins in NYS South ends of the Finger Lakes - northeast of Ithaca at the northern end of Cayuga (Rochester to Syracuse)
43
Erratics A large boulder that have been transported into an area by a glacier
44
Kettles and Kame Hollows left behind by melting ice as the last remnants of glaciers disappear
45
Kame Small coned shaped hill of sand and pebble. that are deposited by stream into the kettle
46
Complete Illustration When glacier melts, deposits slump down at the side and form long ridges - ESKER
