What are Rocks?What are Rocks?
• A rock is a naturally occurring solid mixture of one or more minerals, or organic matter
• Rocks change over time through the rock cycle
![Page 6: Learning Objectives 1.I can list and identify the 3 types of rocks and explain how they are created. 2.I can describe how the surface of the Earth is](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e225503460f94b0fbfa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Rock TypesRock Types
• Rocks can be classified into groups just like living organisms.
• Rocks are classified by how they are formed, their composition, and texture
• The three main groups are:

• Magma is a mixture of
many minerals

Intrusive Igneous Rocks: Rocks that are made from magma (inside the earth)
Extrusive Igneous Rocks: forms when magma erupts onto the Earth’s surface (lava), cools quickly with very small or no crystals formed

Phanertic crystals – large crystals formed in intrusive igneous rocks
Crystals form because the rocks cool slowly enabling the large crystals to grow

SedimentsSediments
http://www.fi.edu/fellows/payton/rocks/create/sediment.htm
Sediments are pieces of rock, minerals, and organic remains.
Sediments are formed by weathering.
Due to erosion sediments are moved from one place to another
Sediments are deposited in layers, with the older ones on the bottom
![Page 20: Learning Objectives 1.I can list and identify the 3 types of rocks and explain how they are created. 2.I can describe how the surface of the Earth is](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e225503460f94b0fbfa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sedimentary RocksSedimentary Rocks
• Sedimentary rock is formed when layers of sediments become compacted and cemented together

GeodesGeodes
• Geodes are created in the hollow areas of soil such as animal burrows or tree roots. They are also formed in the bubbles in volcanic rock.
• Water filters through the rock bringing in minerals which harden into an outer shell creating the geode

Continental DriftContinental Drift
• Alfred Wegener was the 1st scientist to come up with the idea of “continental drift”
• His idea was that the continents slowly moved away from each other.
• This supercontinent was called Pangaea.

they are created (2 ways)
o Plates may be subducted and melted or may push be pushed upward to form mountains

Convection currents occur within the mantle
The up-welling leg of the current creates a divergent boundary which produces midocean ridges

Types of VolcanoesTypes of Volcanoes
• Shield
• Composite (Strato-)
• Cinder
• (Super volcanoes)

Types of Volcano MountainsTypes of Volcano Mountains
Shield Volcanoes: Large base, gentle slope, lava rock
layers A few miles high Life span of a million years or more The lava is hot, low viscosity
(thinner, more watery), often basaltic.
Usually gentle, slow eruptions Example: Hawaiian Islands

Cinder cones, the burps of the Cinder cones, the burps of the volcanic familyvolcanic family
• Relatively small in size, hundreds to 2,000 feet tall
• Usually steep sided and cone shaped.
• Found on the outskirts of all types of stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes
![Page 69: Learning Objectives 1.I can list and identify the 3 types of rocks and explain how they are created. 2.I can describe how the surface of the Earth is](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e225503460f94b0fbfa/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Composite VolcanoesComposite Volcanoesaka Strato-Volcanoesaka Strato-Volcanoes
• Typically large, steep sided, up to 8,000 ft above their bases.
• Have a crater at the summit which contains a central vent or a clustered group of vents.

Composite volcanoesComposite volcanoes
• Found near “subduction zones.”– Denser oceanic plates sliding beneath
continental plates– Oceanic crust melts, rises through continental
crust, creates chain of volcanoes

Composite Volcano EruptionsComposite Volcano Eruptions
• Very violent, explosive and BIG!!!
• Entire sides of mountain gone in a few seconds.

What are super volcanoes?What are super volcanoes?
• Super volcanoes are those that have extremely high levels of silica
• This makes for crazy viscous (thick & “sticky”) lava, and HUGE eruptions
• The lava is so viscous it doesn’t even allow for a cone shaped volcano

YellowstoneYellowstone
• Created by a hot spot
• Evidence from the Snake River Valley of past eruptions and calderas
• So explosive it clears away enough crust that low viscosity basalt can sometimes come up
• Can change the course of geologic history

What are the consequences of it What are the consequences of it blowing?blowing?
• We could hear it blow in Washington• Ash goes into the layer of atmosphere
called the stratosphere, which will remain and block sunlight
• The entire Earth would cool, potentially causing an ice age
• If no ice age, definitely crops would die and food shortages would occur
• People are gonna die!
