16 Title: Igneous Rocks By: Because igneous rocks have formed from molten magma or lava, they are composed of randomly

17 arranged intergrown crystals. Rapid cooling can make crystals too small to be visible. IGNEOUS LITHOLOGIC PATTERNS

18 Title: Igneous Rocks By: Igneous rocks are very hard and dense, layering is rare. Gas bubbles (vesicles) sometimes give rocks a

19 frothy texture. You can identify igneous rocks by random ingrown crystals, glassy textures, or if it has vesicles.

20 1 The Rock Cycle / 111 % accuracy WCPM What is the rock cycle? What does igneous mean? Rocks are constantly being formed, worn down, and then formed again. This process, known as the Rock Cycle, can take thousands and millions of years for rocks to change. Rocks can be divided into three types, and are classified based on the way they form. The first type are called igneous. Igneous means fire or heat, and come from volcanoes. When volcanoes erupt and liquid rock comes up to the earths surface, then new igneous rocks are made. Igneous rocks that form outside of the volcano and cool quickly are called extrusive igneous rocks. Igneous rocks that form inside of the earths crust, and cool slowly, are called intrusive igneous rocks. 1 minute timed reading ~ Score the number of words read aloud correctly in one minute.

31 Image courtesy of THE NATURE OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS 2 Sedimentary rocks form from fragments derived from other rocks and by precipitation from water. They typically occur in layers, or strata, separated one from the other by bedding planes and differences in composition. The second type of rocks are called sedimentary rocks. They are formed from the breakdown and chemical decay of preexisting rocks. This sediment is compacted and cemented to form new solid rock. The origin of these sediment are formed from various substances: 1. Clastic: Fragments of other rocks and minerals. 2. Biologic: Organic materials such as plants or animals. Biologic sedimentary rocks will often contain fossils. 3. Chemical: corrosion and weathering by water or precipitation of other rocks being worn away to create new rocks. What are the three types of sedimentary rocks? Draw an example of a biologic rock in the box below:

38 Title: Fossils By: Sedimentary rocks are always formed in layers, called beds or strata, and often contain fossils.

39 Draw an example of sediment accumulating alongside riverbanks. Stratification is the building up of layers. Stratified is an adjective referring to the arranging of layers, and is also the past form of the verb stratify, to separate or become separated into layers. Visit for examples of sedimentary rocks. KEY CONCEPTS ~ STRATIFICATION 2 Draw an example of stratified layers of sedimentary rock: Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Together, all these particles are called sediment. Gradually, the sediment accumulates in layers and over a long period of time hardens into rock. Generally, sedimentary rock is fairly soft and may break apart or crumble easily. You can often see sand, pebbles, or stones in the rock, and it is usually the only type that contains fossils. (Types of Rocks) When you hold your rock and rub your fingers against it, if the textures feel grainy, chances are it is sedimentary rock. Another type of sedimentary rock has layers instead of particles. This type of sedimentary rock is even easier to identify than the particle type. It is still made up of particles, but particles that form definite layers, called stratum (more typically referred to using the plural, which is strata) Works Cited Types of Rocks (n.d.).

40 Name: Date: Title: Sediments Most often sediments settle outside of the water. For example the river carries lots of sediment, and

41 where the water slows down, the sediments collect along the riverbanks, into lakes, and in the ocean which then form layers.

42 Visit for a more detailed lesson on sedimentary rocks 2 What type of rocks can become sedimentary rocks? / 108 % accuracy WCPM Weathering and Erosion 12 Any type of rock exposed at the surface of the earth can 22 become a sedimentary rock. As rocks are continually exposed to 33 weathering over prolonged periods of time, they are broken down and 42 transported to streams, rivers, and oceans. Even large majestic 52 mountains such as the Appalachian Mountains slowly begin to crumble 61 because of rain, snow, ice, wind, and running water. What are sediments? 72 These little bits of rocks and sand are called sediments. These 83 sediments are transported through flowing bodies of water, and as the 95 water slows down the sediments settle to the bottom. Over many years, 108 layers of different rock settle to the bottom of rivers, lakes and oceans. 1 minute timed reading ~ Score the number of words read aloud correctly in one minute.

43 Name: Date: Erosion SEDIMENTARY LITHOLOGIC PATTERNS Erosion is the process when wind or water move pieces of sediment.

44 1 Weathering When a rock is weathered, it is broken down over time by forces like wind and water. Weathering turns rocks into sediment. 2 Erosion Sediment is carried away by erosion. Erosion is the process when wind or water move pieces of sediment.

45 Deposition 3 Deposition is when sediment is loosely put together in a layer by erosion. Compaction 4 The sediment is compacted. Compaction means that the sediment is being squeezed together and made smaller and tighter. As the layers of sediment build up, the pressure on the lower layers increases. The layers are squeezed together and any water mixed in with the sediments is forced out. This process is called compaction.

46 5 Cementation Sediment is cemented together. At the same time the particles of sediment begin to stick to each other - they are cemented together by clay, or by minerals like silica or calcite. Image courtesy of Tulane University 2012 ~ geol212/sedrxintro.htm for information on the process of cementation. Identifying Sedimentary Rocks After compaction and cementation the sedimentary sequence has changed into a sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone, shale and limestone differ from other rocks in that they: 1. Are formed from layers of sediment built up over many years. 2. Are grains of sediment cemented together by various minerals. 3. May contain fossils - remains of plants and animals that were caught up in the sediment.

48 3 Metamorphic Rock / 127 % accuracy WCPM How are metamorphic rocks created? Metamorphic rocks are formed deep within the earth when heat and pressure are applied to igneous, sedimentary rocks, or even other metamorphic rocks. This process of heating and adding pressure changes the physical structure of the rock, and/or the chemicals within them are rearranged so the final rock is very different from the original rock. During a chemical change, ions move and new minerals form. The new minerals are more stable in the new environment. Although the minerals in the rock change they do not melt. The final state of the metamorphic rock depends on the amount of pressure and heat the original rock was subjected to, and length of time the rock was subjected to the pressure and heat. This process of changing is called metamorphism.

49 / 159 % accuracy WCPM REGIONAL METAMORPHISM Regional metamorphic rocks happens when rocks get buried under other rocks. The weight of the rocks on top forces them deeper into the earth. The deeper the rocks are pushed into the ground, the more they are exposed to pressure and heat. Regional metamorphism occurs over a very wide geographical area. Regional metamorphic rocks often display layering or banding called foliation. Extreme pressure may also result in foliation. Foliation occurs when rocks are squeezed, and if pressure is exerted from one direction, the rocks can form layers. If pressure is exerted from all directions, the rock usually does not show foliation. Regional metamorphism with high pressure and low temperatures can often result in blue schist. Some examples of foliated rocks are Slate, Schist and Mica. Slate is transformed shale and it splits into smooth slabs. Schist is the most common metamorphic rock. Mica is the most common mineral. Gneiss has a streaky look because of alternating layers of minerals. What is foliation? Image courtesy of ~ Website Gem.

51 Name: Date: Metamorphic Rock Origins Read the sentence below Practice writing the words Spell each word aloud Draw a picture of the paragraph below. Metamorphic rocks were originally igneous or sedimentary rock, but due to movement of the earth s crust, were changed.

52 CONTACT METAMORPHISM Contact metamorphism occurs when magma intrudes or forces its way into existing rock. The heat of the magma bakes the surrounding rocks causing them to change. This is a local event. The changes due to contact metamorphism are relatively small and are said to be low-grade metamorphism. An example of contact metamorphism is the metamorphic rock marble. Marble is created from limestone and dolostone that has been subjected to heat. Contact Metamorphic Rocks Limestone Marble The word marble comes from the Greek word marmaros which means shining stone. There are many types of rocks found throughout the world.

53 CAUSES OF METAMORPHISM The causes of metamorphism are heat, pressure, and hydrothermal solution. But where does this heat and pressure come from? The heat and pressure comes from inside the earth. From the upper mantle up to within a few kilometers of the surface of the earth there is a tremendous amount of heat and pressure. This heat and pressure increase with depth. It is estimated that the temperature increases about 20 to 30 C per kilometer of depth. Plate Tectonics Adds Heat And Pressure There is something else that adds to both the heat and pressure, and that is plate tectonics. When the plates of the earth collide, they squeeze the rocks at the borders with unbelievable force. This force increases the pressure in this and surrounding areas. Friction is also created by the plates grinding together. This friction generates enough heat to melt the rocks at the point of contact. Pressure The pressure within the earth is the result of gravity pulling the crust of the earth downward. Like heat, pressure increases with depth. This pressure can actually squeeze the spaces out of the minerals within the rock. This makes the rocks denser. The heat and pressure together cause the rock to flow instead of break or fracture. The mineral grains become realigned. They flatten out and get longer. Hydrothermal Solution Magma contains many different gasses including H2O. That s right water! Or more properly steam. Minerals are carried by the steam. When this hot fluid escapes from the magma it is called Hydrothermal Solution. These hot fluids can change the crystallization in rock by dissolving the minerals and then depositing new ones. Rocks that come in contact with this hydrothermal solution can have their composition altered as a result of this recrystalization. Heat For metamorphism to occur energy is needed to fuel the chemical reactions. Heat is the primary source of this energy. What causes metamorphism?

58 TIME READING PASSAGES Words correct per minute (WCPM). Choose a passage. Time the student when s/he reads the passage. Example A student read a story with 148 words in 2 minutes, 55 seconds. She made 8 errors. To determine WCPM: 1. Count the total number of words. Example: Count the number of mistakes. Example: Take the number of words minus the number of mistakes = number of words read correctly. Example: = Calculate percent accuracy: number of words read correctly divided by total number of words. Example: 130/148 = 87% 5. Convert the time it took to read the passage to seconds. Example: 2 minutes, 55 seconds = 175 seconds 6. Convert the number of seconds to a decimal by dividing the number of seconds by 60. This is the total reading time. Example: 175 / 60 = Divide the number of words read correctly by the total reading time in decimal form. Example: 130 / 2.91 = 45 WCPM
