  2. The Rock Cycle • The Earth is constantly changing. Even the very rocks around you may have changed many times throughout their history! • The Rock Cycle explains the evolution of these igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks that make up the Earth’s crust. • Many processes, such as volcanic activity, movement of the crust, and erosion and deposition of rocks on the surface, create different environments where various types of minerals and rocks form. Let’s take a ride on the Rock Cycle! Back to the beginning

  3. Melting…

  4. Lava Magma MELTED ROCK • Generally appears at plate boundaries when crustal plates are colliding or spreading apart. • Magma forms beneath the surface. • Lava is found on the surface. Cool this melted rock! Go back to the Rock Cycle

  5. Cooling…

  6. IGNEOUS ROCKS • Form as melted rock cools. • Can be extrusive or intrusive. • Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian. Choose your own Adventure: Add some heat and pressure! Weather and erode this rock! Go back to the Rock Cycle

  7. WEATHERING AND EROSION • Did you know that the sand on the beach used to be part of a rock? • Once a rock is made, it doesn’t stay that way! If it is on the surface, the rock is broken down into sediments by weathering processes, then moved to a new location by erosional forces. • Weathering is the process of decomposition or disintegration of rocks in place. • Erosion is the movement of weathered materials by water, wind, ice, or gravity. Deposit sediment Go back to the Rock Cycle

  8. SEDIMENTS • Sediments are mineral or organic particles that are deposited by the action of wind, water, ice, or gravity. • Boulders, gravel, sand, and mud are all types of sediments. Compact and cement these sediments! Go back to the Rock Cycle

  9. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS • As the sediments settle, they compact. • If the sediments are small enough, they can form rocks. • If the sediments are large, natural cements fill in the empty spaces and “glue” the sediments together. Choose your own Adventure: Weather and erode this rock! Add heat and pressure to this rock! Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone. Go back to the Rock Cycle.

  10. METAMORPHIC ROCKS • These rocks have gone through a lot! • Metamorphic rocks form from pre- existing rocks that have changed due to high temperatures, pressures, or chemical changes. Choose your own Adventure: Melt this rock! Weather and erode this rock! Examples of metamorphic rocks include gneiss, slate, and marble. Go back to the Rock Cycle

  11. GLOSSARY • Cement: A substance that hardens to act as an adhesive; glue. • Compact: become pressed together • Erosion is the movement of weathered materials by water, wind, ice, or gravity. • Extrusive: an igneous rock formation environment that occurs on the surface • Intrusive: an igneous rock formation environment that occurs beneath the surface • Lava: molten rock on the Earth’s surface • Magma: molten rock beneath the Earth’s surface • Weathering is the process of decomposition or disintegration of rocks in place. Take me back to the Rock Cycle!

  12. Granite • Intrusive igneous rock. • Cools slowly and has large crystals. • Generally found on the continents. Go back to Igneous Rocks

  13. Basalt • Extrusive igneous rock • Cools quickly and has small crystals. • Oceanic crust is made up of basalt. Go back to Igneous Rocks

  14. Obsidian • Often called “volcanic glass” • Extrusive igneous rock that cools extremely quickly. • Does not have crystals. Go back to Igneous Rocks

  15. Sandstone • A sedimentary rock consisting of quartz sand cemented together by other minerals. • May be many colors, including grey, yellow, red, and white. • Is capable of holding large quantities of water. Go back to Sedimentary Rocks

  16. Shale • Formed from clay and mud particles that have been pressed into thin sheets. • Extremely fine-grained material Go back to Sedimentary Rocks

  17. Limestone • Generally forms from calcite produced by marine organisms, and may • contain fossils. • May also form from groundwater containing dissolved calcite. • Will “fizz” when in contact with hydrochloric acid (HCl). Go back to Sedimentary Rocks

  18. Gneiss • A coarse-grained rock with bands • of light colored minerals that • alternate with bands of dark-colored • minerals. • Similar in composition to granite • (quartz, feldspar, mica) Go back to Metamorphic Rocks

  19. Slate • Fine-grained rock composed of metamorphosed clay or volcanic ash. • Generally forms when shale undergoes metamorphism. • Has distinctive layers. Go back to Metamorphic Rocks

  20. Marble • Metamorphosedlimestone • Often used in sculpture and as a • building material • Does not have layers or bands Go back to Metamorphic Rocks
