Use the images to name and describe two other types of rocks beside those included with the basic rock cycle.

Geode  - large visible crystals,       

Jem stones – colorful crystal rocks        

   Fossil  - calcified rocks

Where are intrusive and extrusive rocks formed?

[image][image]   [image]   [image]

Rock formed by Magma. It occurs inside the earth    

Rocks formed by Lava. It occurs outside the earth

Name some careers that are associated with rocks?

[image]  [image] [image] [image] [image]   [image]  [image]

Paleontologist - studies the history of life on Earth, through examining fossils.

Geologist - scientist that study the origin, history, and structure of the earth.

Mineralogist - scientist that studies minerals. 

seismologist - Scientist that studies earth quakes.

Petrologist - Scientist that studies the origin, history, occurrence, structure, chemical composition, and classification of rocks

Stratigraphers - The study of rock strata, especially the distribution, deposition, and age of sedimentary rocks.

Geomorphologists - Studies both land and ocean formation.

What types of rocks are produced as a result of heat, pressure, and property change?

What are some properties that are used to identify different types of rocks?

[image]  [image] [image] [image] [image]

Texture-touch - Course or Smooth  

Density-heaviness- Hard or soft  &  float/sink

physical appearance/Color -Dark / light /layer     

Composition- main mineral substance

Name a rock that contains small holes or pores?

[image]

What are the three basic types of rocks?

[image]    [image]    [image] [image]

Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic

What is the pressure and heat intensity level that will determine the formation of metamorphic rocks?

[image]  [image]   [image]

Low grade metamorphism – involves less intense pressure and heat.

 High grade metamorphism – involves very high extreme pressure and heat.

What processes and steps are involved in the rock cycle?

[image]  [image] [image] 

[image] [image][image]

Melting, cooling, and solidification, weathering, erosion, and deposition,compaction and cementation, heat and pressure. Three processes and ten steps.

What type of rock is formed as a result of deposition, sedimentation, and cementation?

[image]

Give an example of one parent rocks and its metamorphic new rock.

[image]

Granite- gnesis- magmatite              

Shale- slate-phyllite-

phyolite- schist

basalt-amphibolite

limestone-marble

sandstone-quartz

peat - coal - graphite

What is a parent rock?

[image]

What does the rock cycle illustrates?

[image]   [image]

What is the correct rock cycle processing pattern?

[image]   [image]   [image]

melting, cooling, and solidification: forms Igneous rock

weathering, erosion, and deposition, compaction and cementation, forms: Sedimentary rock 

heat and pressure -forms: metamorphic rock

Name some different ways that rocks are used?

[image]  [image]  [image]  [image] [image] 

Rocks are used as medicine, flavoring, architectural design, cosmetic products, writing utensils, preservatives, soil treatment, purification and filtration, and energy resources.

What types of rocks form as a result of lava and magma cooling and crystallizing?

[image]   [image]

What is a conglomerate rock?

Name some scientists that study or work with rocks? 

[image]     [image]  [image]     [image]

August  F. Foerste - First to describe in details various fossils.  

Waverly J. Pearson - A Geophysicist and seismologist. First AfricanAmerican to serve at the Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center 
   .   

Florence Bascom - was the first woman to receive PhD in geology and the first to be hired by the United States Geological Survey.

Friedrich Mohs -German minerologist that introduced the scale of mineral hardness – Mohs scale.

Name, classify, describe, and compare three interesting rock that represent different stages of the rock cycle.

[image]    [image]    [image]

Igneous - Pumice (Light, holes)

  Sedimentary rock – Breccia   ( sharp pebbles)

 metamorphic rock - Phyllite ( clay, thin, dark)

What is the correct rock classification sequence?

Use the vocabulary terms:  Clastic, chemical, extrusive, foliated, igneous rock, intrusive, metamorphic rock, non-foliated, rocks, and sedimentary rock  to create a rock classification chart.

[image]    [image] 

Igneous rocks     

(Intrusive)                (Extrusive)

(magma)                             (lava)

Sedimentary rock

(Clastic)              (Chemical)

(Weathering)                       ( minerals) 

Metamorphic  rock

(Foliated)       (Non-foliated)

(visible layer)          (nonvisable )
