  1. The Changing Earth

  2. Chapter Thirteen: Formation of Rocks • 13.1 The Composition of Rocks • 13.2 Igneous Rocks • 13.3 How Rocks Change

  3. 13.3 How rocks change • Rocks are formed when lava or magma solidifies. • These rocks can become other kinds of rocks when they are broken down then cemented together with other sediment, or changed by heat and pressure.

  4. 13.3 How rocks change • Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of broken down rock. • Sedimentary rocks are the most common rock found on Earth’s surface.

  5. 13.3 Sedimentary Rocks • Sedimentary rocks are identified by the size of the particles that form them. • mudstone • sandstone • conglomerate

  6. 13.3 Sedimentary Rocks • Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock layers. • Sedimentary rocks hold clues to the past. Where might organisms get covered by sediments?

  7. 13.3 Metamorphic Rocks • Metamorphismmeans to change the form of something. • A metamorphic rockis a rock formed from another kind of rock due to heat and pressure.

  8. 13.3 Metamorphic rocks • When magma comes in contact with another type of rock, the high heat may form metamorphic rock near the point of contact. • This is called contact metamorphism.

  9. 13.3 Metamorphic rocks • Limestone is a rock made of shells. • During contact metamorphism limestone becomes marble under heat and pressure.

  10. 13.3 Metamorphic rocks • High-grade metamorphisminvolves high pressure and either low or high temperatures. • In this process, the minerals in a rock change to form new minerals.

  11. 13.3 Metamorphic rocks • Heat and pressure result when colliding continents form mountains at a convergent boundary. • Mountains are where we find metamorphic rocks.

  12. 13.3 Metamorphic rocks tell great stories • Geologists use rocks as clues to understand the history of Earth.

  13. 13.3 The rock cycle • There are many processes that keep rocks moving through a cycle: • weathering, • erosion, • compaction and cementation, • metamorphism, or • melting and crystallizing.

  14. Geology Connection How Do You Grow a Diamond? • Diamond is a clear, hard crystal. To grow a diamond, you need carbon atoms to collect as a sparkling crystal.

  15. Activity Metamorphism • In this activity, you will simulate the processes of contact and regional metamorphism. • Rock can change from one form to another using heat and pressure.
