What is a rock?What is a rock?
A rock is a solid that forms in nature. It may have one or more types of minerals within it (or no minerals at all).

Some rocks have minerals, Some rocks have minerals, some don’t…some don’t…Minerals are clearly
visible in some igneous rocks like…..
There are no mineralcrystals in obsidian.

Forms when molten rock cools and becomes a solid.
Igneous rocks may form
inside Earth or on Earth’s surface.
Intrusive-forms when magma cools within the Earth.
Extrusive-forms when lava cools on the surface.

Textures of Intrusive Igneous RockTextures of Intrusive Igneous Rock
The size of mineral crystals depends on how quickly the magma or lava cooled.
The high temperatures of the interior of the Earth causes magma to cool slowly.
Slow cooling allows large crystals to form.
Intrusive Rocks

How are we able to see intrusive How are we able to see intrusive rocks?rocks?
Ship Rock formed 30 million years ago.
Magma cooled to form intrusive rock.
Intrusive igneous rock has been left as weaker
rock (like sedimentary) has worn away
due to weathering & erosion.

Textures of Extrusive Igneous RockTextures of Extrusive Igneous Rock
The surface of Earth is much cooler than the interior, causing lava to cool quickly.
There is no time for large mineral crystals to form.

Composition of Igneous Rocks…Composition of Igneous Rocks…
Most igneous rocks are made up of silicate materialsThe color tells you how much silica the rock has.
High levels of silica will be lighter in color.
Low levels of silica will be darker in color.

Sedimentary Rocks: “something Sedimentary Rocks: “something that settles”that settles”
Small pieces of rock turn into pebbles, gravel, sand, clay, and plant & animal matter. They tumble down rivers and streams.
These pieces settle in a new place and begin to pile up and the sediments form flat layers.

Sediments harden into rock in Sediments harden into rock in two ways. two ways.
Compaction- layer after layer of sediments are deposited, they are pressed together tightly to form rock.
Cementation- sediments are held together by minerals that have crystallized between them (acting as cement).

Sedimentary rocks Sedimentary rocks may be rich in….may be rich in….
Fossils- Remains or trace of an organism from long ago.
Coal-Made up of the remains of dead plants. The coal we use today formed millions of years ago in swamps.
Limestone-made of carbonate minerals (calcite) from seashells that settle on the bottom of the ocean.

Sedimentary Rock tells a story Sedimentary Rock tells a story about Earth’s past…about Earth’s past…
These rocks are laid down in layers with the oldest on the bottom.
Do you remember what rock layers are called?
Law of Superposition or stratification!

When mineral grains line up in parallel layers, the metamorphic rock is said to have a Foliated texture.

Non Foliated Metamorphic RockNon Foliated Metamorphic Rock
Typically made up of one type of mineral so different minerals can not line up in bands.
Marble formed from limestone
Quartzite forms from Sandstone
When a metamorphic rock does not have “foliation” it typically has only one mineral, therefore no parallel banding patterns.
