1. FORMATION OF IGNEOUS ROCKS:
A. Igneous rocks form directly from the ______________________________and ______________________ of ________________ molten rock to form _________________ rock.
B. _______________________________ is the process when a liquid rock cools, and it changes to a solid made of
_______________________________
You must know how to read this chart on page 6 of your ESRT!
2. CLASSIFICATION OF IGNEOUS ROCKS:
2 characteristics that are used to classify igneous rocks___________________________ 2. _____________________________
Texture of an igneous rock describes the size shape and ____________________
of the mineral crystals it was made from.
The _________ of the crystals depends on the ______________________________.
Slow cooling = ______________________________ (Inside earth, Intrusive)
Fast cooling = ______________________________ ( Lava, Extrusive)
3. EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCKS:
_____________________ occurs when molten (liquid) rock flows out of the earth as ___________ and cools ________________ to form fine or no ________________
To form magma _____________________ must be melted.
Minerals melt at different pressures and temperatures.
Igneous rocks of different _____________, can form from the same body of ________ LAVA = fine grained
4. INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCKS:
________________ occurs when molten rock beneath the surface ________________ and cools _________________ to form __________________________
5. FELSIC: Igneous rocks of the continental crust are rich in ____________ density , _______________ colored minerals.
( ________________ )
6. MAFIC:Igneous rocks of the ocean floor are rich in ________________ density,
________________ colored minerals. (______________ )
Rocks are classified according to the environment in which they _________________ Types of Rocks:________________________ _________________________ OR ______________________

FORMATION OF METAMORPHIC ROCKS
A Metamorphic rock is one whose original form has been ________________ by _____________ and ______________.
This alteration is called ________________________. These changes are NOT caused by MELTING. If the rock melted and cooled it would be an IGNEOUS ROCK.
Changes are caused by ______________________.May include the creation and growth of __________________________.
Rocks which are intensely __________________can also become ______________________ rock, making it more DENSE and RESISTANT. The growth of new minerals may cause the rock to appear ___________________ or _______________ (stripes of light and dark minerals). It can also _________________ (bend) or __________________ original structure.
There are two types of Metamorphism:a. ________________________________________
Regional Metamorphism: Occurs over large areas with extreme pressures and temperatures. The extreme heat and pressure is what builds _____________________.
Contact Metamorphic: Is the zone of contact where an igneous intrusion meets the existing rock but does not melt it. Contact metamorphism occurs only at the place where the magma ________________________ rock and transfers heat via conduction.
Unit 4: Rocks & Minerals Earth Science- Ms. Gill Note Packet #5
Page #____
Any kind of rock: IGNEOUS, SEDIMENTARY, and METAMORPHIC can undergo __________________________ to form metamorphic rock.
____________________ Rock: Is rock from which metamorphic rock is formed.
LIMESTONE metamorphoses to become ____________________.
SANDSTONE metamorphoses to become ____________________.
SHALE metamorphoses to become _________________.
We will NOT find fossils in Metamorphic rock because __________________
___________________________________________________________.

FORMATION OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
Sedimentary rocks originate from: _______________________
Sedimentary rock forms a thin ____________on top of existing rock.
1. Clastic:_________________________________________________________
2. Bioclastic: _________________________________________________________
3. Crystalline: _______________________________________________________
Page #____
1. Clastic Sedimentary Rock: contain layers of _________________________ formed from the breakdown of other rocks. ( )
Characteristics of Clastic Sedimentary Rock ( ____________________ ) A. Varied particle sizeB. Horizontal layersC. Formed in water
Sedimentary rocks are UNLIKE loose sediments because sediments have been
___________________________ and __________________________ together.
Two examples of natural cement are: _________________ & __________________
Classification of Sedimentary rocks is based on ______________________________or ____________________________.

2. Bioclastic Sedimentary Rock: are formed by the ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
* Limestone is the accumulation of _______________ and __________________
* Coal is the remains of _____________ that accumulate in layers and become buried and compressed for millions of years!!
3. Crystalline Sedimentary Rocks:Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from minerals that were _________________
in water. Minerals that were once dissolved are called
__________________________ and ___________________________
Crystalline sedimentary rocks are made of only one _____________________ and are
called ___________________________________
Examples include: ______________________ and ______________________ A fossil is evidence that a rock is ________________________________________.
Fossils are rare in ____________________ and ________________________ rocks.
