Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm-Up 9-12 • If a region of a map has contour lines close together what does that tell you about the region? • Why do contour lines never overlap? • Draw a small contour map of a 100m tall mountain with two peaks.

  2. Maps and Topography! ToLITHOSPHERE!

  3. Rocks

  4. What is a Rock? • Naturally-occurring mixtures of minerals, mineraloids, glass or organic matter.

  5. What is the difference between a rock and a mineral? • Rocks are made up of ONE or MORE minerals.

  6. Warm-Up. Happy Friday! • What is magma? • What is lava? • Explain the difference between a rock and a mineral. • How do rocks form?

  7. Take about 10min to quietly read the article. Then answer the following questions: What activities in your life are dependent upon the successful work of a geologist? How could an understanding of geology help you understand the world around you? What did you find the most interesting about this article? Does anything about this article make you nervous?

  8. What is a Rock? • Rocks are divided into 3 groups based on how they were formed: • IGNEOUS • SEDIMENTARY • METAMORPHIC

  9. Igneous Rocks

  10. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling down of magma or lava.

  11. 2 types of igneous rocks • Intrusive • Extrusive

  12. INTRUSIVE rocks cooled slowly INside of the earth. Composed of larger crystals

  13. EXTRUSIVE means “out of the earth” It cooled on the surface of the earth and has small crystals Intrusive

  14. Crystal forming video!

  15. Igneous rocks are classified according to the composition and texture. Composition is the minerals that the rock is made of

  16. Felsic rocks: light colored, high silica content

  17. Mafic rocks: dark rock, low silica content

  18. Texture is the size, shape, arrangement, and distribution of those minerals in the rock. There are 4 textures: glassy, fine-grained, course-grained, and porphyritic. rhyolite

  19. Glassy – obsidian

  20. Fine-grained - basalt

  21. Course-grained - Granite

  22. Porphyritic means that it has large crystals with small ones also.

  23. Sedimentary Rocks

  24. Sediments are pieces of solid material that have been weathered and then deposited

  25. Sedimentary rocks are formed when rocks are broken down into sediments (weathered) and compacted together. (Compaction and cementation)

  26. Sedimentary rocks are classified 3 classifications: clastic, chemical, organic breccia

  27. CLASTIC: 1. They are the most common sedimentary rock • Are made from pieces of previous rock • Example: “Big Chunks” – Breccia • Example: Small pebbles, clay, and sand “glued” together – Conglomerate • Example: Small sand grains only = sandstone

  28. CHEMICAL ROCKS Formed when a lake or ocean dries up, leaving behind minerals. Calcite, Halite, and Gypsum are examples

  29. ORGANIC ROCKS They are formed from the remains of once living things Coal is made from plant remains.

  30. Schist Gneiss Metamorphic Rocks • Were once igneous or sedimentary rocks • Have been changed because of heat and/or pressure. • Very strong rock. Resistant to weathering.

  31. END

  32. Explain the rock cycle in enough detail to relate the cycling of materials - formation and destruction of the three major rock types to the • forces responsible: physical and chemical weathering, heat and pressure, deposition, foliation and bedding. The forms of energy that • drive the rock cycle include heat and mechanical (gravitational potential) energy.

  33. Warm-Up • How is an INTRUSIVE igneous rock formed? • What are the 3 types of sedimentary rocks? • When are chemical sedimentary rocks formed?

  34. The Rock Cycle

  35. 1. The rock cycle is the continuous changing and remaking of rocks.

  37. 2. Igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks may be transformed by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions into metamorphic rocks.

  38. Metamorphic rocks may be changed or metamorphosed into other metamorphic rocks. They also may be remelted into an igneous rock. Or a metamorphic rock can be weathered to form a sedimentary rock.

  39. Eroded (broken down) Heat And Pressure Melted Melted Heat And Pressure Eroded (broken down)

  40. 4. Any rock can be changed into another rock!

  41. Warm Up 2/6 • Write 3-5 sentences about anything and everything that you know about rocks. (Things to think/write about: Are there different types of rocks? If so, what makes them different? Why are rocks different colors? Why do rocks have different textures?)

  42. Rock Cycle Vocabulary

  43. Rock • a mixture of one or more minerals, volcanic glass, organic matter, or other materials

  44. Sedimentary Rock • forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together or when minerals are left behind by evaporation

  45. Examples

  46. Metamorphic Rock • forms when heat and pressure act on igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock and change its form or make up.

  47. Examples

  48. Igneous Rock • intrusive or extrusive rock formed when hot magma cools and hardens

  49. Examples

  50. Rock Cycle • model that describes how rocks slowly change from one form to another through time
