Journal Entry • Open books to P 116-117 to analyze picture and answer questions – What is distinctive about this rock formation? – What does the shape of this rock formation suggest about how it was formed ( How you think it was formed? – Where you think this is? Rocks • What is a rock? – Rocks and Minerals are often confused It is important to understand the difference – A rock is: types • Igneous- from cooling magma inside earth or cooling lava on surface of earth • Sedimentary- made of broken up bits of rocks (called sediment) which is eventually cemented together • Metamorphic- deformed rock Rock cycle Shows the interrelationships among the three rock types Earth as a system: the rock cycle • Magma • Crystallization • Igneous rock • Weathering, transportation, and deposition Rock cycle Earth as a system: the rock cycle • Full cycle does not always take place due to "shortcuts" or interruptions • • • • e.g., Sedimentary rock melts e.g., Igneous rock is metamorphosed e.g., Sedimentary rock is weathered e.g., Metamorphic rock weathers Rock cycle Earth as a system: the rock cycle • Sediment • Lithification • Sedimentary rock • Metamorphism • Metamorphic rock • Melting • Magma The rock cycle Magma • Crystallization- What is it? • Cooling magma creates Igneous rocks Check up Quiz • Can an igneous rock become another igneous rock? • How are the processes involved with the formation of Igneous and metamorphic rocks different? • Is there a beginning or end to this cycle? Igneous Rock Igneous rock exposed at earth’s surface is weathered, transported and deposited at a new location as sediment Origin of pressure in metamorphism Metamorphic rocks Metamorphic textures • Foliated texture • Minerals are in a parallel alignment • Minerals are perpendicular to the compressional force • Nonfoliated texture • Contain equidimensional crystals • Resembles a coarse-grained igneous rock Development of foliation due to directed pressure Metamorphic rocks Common metamorphic rocks • Foliated rocks • Slate • Fine-grained • Splits easily • Schist • Strongly foliated • "Platy" • Types based on composition (e.g., mica schist) Classification of metamorphic rocks Metamorphic rocks Common metamorphic rocks • Foliated rocks • Gneiss • Strong segregation of silicate minerals • "Banded" texture • Nonfoliated rocks • Marble • Parent rock is limestone • Large, interlocking calcite crystals Gneiss typically displays a banded appearance Metamorphic rocks Common metamorphic rocks • Nonfoliated rocks • Marble • Used as a building stone • Variety of colors • Quartzite • Parent rock – quartz sandstone • Quartz grains are fused Marble – a nonfoliated metamorphic rock Resources from rocks and minerals Metallic mineral resources • Gold, silver, copper, mercury, lead, etc • Concentrations of desirable materials are produced by • Igneous processes • Metamorphic processes Resources from rocks and minerals Metallic mineral resources • Most important ore deposits are generated from hydrothermal (hot-water) solutions • • • • Hot Contain metal-rich fluids Associated with cooling magma bodies Types of deposits include • Vein deposits in fractures or bedding planes, and • Disseminated deposits which are distributed throughout the rock Resources from rocks and minerals Nonmetallic mineral resources • Make use of the material’s • Nonmetallic elements • Physical or chemical properties • Two broad groups • Building materials (e.g., limestone, gypsum) • Industrial minerals (e.g., fluorite, corundum, sylvite) End of Chapter [...]... Classification of igneous rocks Rock Quiz • Explain the Rock Cycle in your own words Feel free to use an illustration • What are PIN’s? List 2 characteristics • What are VEX’s?
