Ocjectives Igneous Rocks are made from cooling of molten material such as magma, lava and other pyroclastics. the sequent development of Igneous rocks creates, uplift which exposes them to weathering and erosion. Classes of Igneous Rocks 1. Volcanic (Extrusive) Igneous Rocks - form on earth's surface as lava cools 2. Plutonic (or Intrusive) Igneous Rocks - form deep underground where magma cools slowly; these rocks have a coarse crystalline texture Formation of Igneous Rocks Slow cooling these rocks have large crystal structure visible to the naked eye. Ex. granite, diorite, syenite Formation of Igneous Rocks Rapid cooling creates a minimal mineral crystals that aren't visible to the naked eye. Ex. basalt, obsidian, andesite, rhyolite Formation of Igneous Rocks Pyroclastics the resulting materials can be as small as ash, or large enough to be called PYROCLASTIC ROCKS. Ex. ignimbrite, tuff, volcanic breccia, scoria, pumice Sedimentary Rocks can formed through cementation and compaction of eroded materials from other rocks. Weathering Erosion Sedimentary Rocks Most sedimentary rocks are formed of layers of materials that have washed into lakes, rivers and oceans – Sedimentary rocks form strata Often layers are tilted by earth movements Sedimentary rocks contain fossils Formation of Sedimentary Rocks Through Lithification Processes: Deposition happens when friction and gravity overcome the forces driving sediment transport, allowing sediment to accumulate. Compaction occurs when material continues to accumulate on top of the sediment layer, squeezing the grains together and driving out the water. Cementation is the process of cementing minerals coating the sediment grains and gluing them together into a fused rock. Classes of Sedimentary Rocks Clastic Sedimentary Rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of mechanical weathering debris. Examples: breccia, conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale. https://geology.com/rocks/sedimentary-rocks.shtml#:~:text=There%20are%20three%20basic%20types%20of%20sedimentary%20rocks.%20Clastic%20sedimentary Classes of Sedimentary Rocks Chemical Sedimentary Rocks form when dissolved materials precipitate from solution. Examples: chert, some dolomites, flint, iron ore, limestones, and rock salt https://geology.com/rocks/sedimentary-rocks.shtml#:~:text=There%20are%20three%20basic%20types%20of%20sedimentary%20rocks.%20Clastic%20sedimentary Classes of Sedimentary Rocks Organic Sedimentary Rocks form from the accumulation of plant or animal debris.

Formation of Metamorphic Rocks HEAT. As temperature rises, the energy reorganizes atoms in minerals, leading to the formation of new minerals. Helmenstine, Anne. “Metamorphic Rocks - Formation, Types, Examples.” Science Notes and Projects, 24 Feb. 2024, sciencenotes.org/metamorphic-rocks-formation-types-examples/. Formation of Metamorphic Rocks PRESSURE. Along with heat, pressure plays a crucial role in metamorphism. Its cause deformation and reorientation of minerals. Helmenstine, Anne. “Metamorphic Rocks - Formation, Types, Examples.” Science Notes and Projects, 24 Feb. 2024, sciencenotes.org/metamorphic-rocks-formation-types-examples/. Formation of Metamorphic Rocks CHEMICALLY ACTIVE FLUIDS. Fluids, particularly water with dissolved ions, cause chemical reactions that alter the composition of the rock. Helmenstine, Anne. “Metamorphic Rocks - Formation, Types, Examples.” Science Notes and Projects, 24 Feb. 2024, sciencenotes.org/metamorphic-rocks-formation-types-examples/. Formation of Metamorphic Rocks TIME. The longer the rock is subjected to heat and pressure, the more pronounced the metamorphic transformation. Helmenstine, Anne. “Metamorphic Rocks - Formation, Types, Examples.” Science Notes and Projects, 24 Feb. 2024, sciencenotes.org/metamorphic-rocks-formation-types-examples/. Properties of Metamorphic Rocks 1. Texture: Can be foliated (layered) or non-foliated. 2. Hardness: Generally harder than their parent rocks. 3. Mineral Composition: Varies depending on the parent rock and the conditions of metamorphism. Helmenstine, Anne. “Metamorphic Rocks - Formation, Types, Examples.” Science Notes and Projects, 24 Feb. 2024, sciencenotes.org/metamorphic-rocks-formation-types-examples/. Types of Metamorphic Rocks Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure. King, H. M. (2019).

Geology.com. https://geology.com/rocks/metamorphic-rocks.shtml Types of Metamorphic Rocks Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered or banded appearance. King, H. M. (2019).
