Presentation Transcript

  1. Sedimentary Classification Particle size Composition of particles The cement Formation Mechanical and chemical weathering work to break down rock. Sediment is then subjected to cementation and compaction. Identification Composition and texture (particle size) Vocabulary Weather & erosion Compaction and Cementation Examples Sandstone, shale

  2. Igneous Formation- Formed when magma cools on the surface of the earth or in the crust. Identification Texture (crystal size) Vocabulary Intrusive Extrusive Classification

  3. Metaporphic Identification- Mineral composition and texture (foliated or nonfoliated) Formation- Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have undergone a change from their original form due to changes in temperature, pressure or chemical alteration. Vocabulary Foliated Nonfoliated

  4. Classification- Metamorphic rock is classified by texture and composition. The texture can be foliated or nonfoliated.
