The Lithosphere is the solid portion of the Earth. It is solid and hard because it is
made of rocks.
Rocks are found everywhere. Good examples of rocks are mostly found where nature
has recently exposed fresh rock, such as on sea cliffs, beaches, mountains, and volcanic
terrains.
Petrology is the science that deals with the study of the formation, composition, and
classification of rocks.

Rocks are not all the same!
The three main types, or classes, of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic,
and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed.

Rocks are any solid mass of mineral or mineral-like matter occurring
naturally as part of our planet. Rocks are naturally occurring consolidated
substances, which may be made up of minerals, other rock pieces, and fossil
materials, such as shells or plants. Rocks are the result of various geological
processes that occur both at and beneath the Earth’s surface or, in the case of
meteorites, in other parts of the Universe. Rocks can be studied and differentiated
between by grouping together those types that share a similar appearance, similar
composition, and the same process of formation.
How are rocks classified?
Rocks are classified according to how they are formed. From the diagram above,
we can see that:
1. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling or solidification of magma or lava.
2. Metamorphic rocks are formed by preexisting rocks that are exposed to
extreme heat and pressure in the Earth’s interior, a process
called metamorphism.
3. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and cementation of
sediments, a process called lithification.
Also, we can see that one type of rock can be transformed into another type
depending on the process that it goes through.

Igneous Rocks rocks that are formed from the solidification of molten rock
material (magma or lava). Molten rock material can solidify below the surface of the
earth (plutonic igneous rocks) or at the surface of the Earth (volcanic igneous rocks).
Minerals are formed during the crystallization of the magma. Note that the rate of
cooling is one of the most important factors that control crystal size and the texture
of the rock in general.
What is the difference between lava and magma?
Igneous rocks are further classified as intrusive or extrusive igneous based
on grain size.
 Intrusive rocks, or plutonic
rocks, are igneous rocks
formed from solidified
magma underneath the
earth. They are coarse-
grained due to the slow
cooling of magma allowing
crystal growth due to the
gradual lowering of the
temperature gradient at
depth towards the surface
would cause slow
cooling/crystallization. Most
of the intrusive rocks have
phaneritic texture.
Examples: granite, diorite,
gabbro. Figure 2. Extrusive rock (1) and Intrusive rock (2)
Source: https://slideplayer.com/slide/5682229/
 Extrusive rocks, or volcanic rocks, are igneous rocks formed on the surface
of the earth. They are cooled lava, which are molten rocks ejected on the
surface through volcanic eruptions. They are fine-grained due to abrupt
cooling on the surface. The fast rate of cooling/crystallization is due to huge
variance in the temperature between Earth’s surface and underneath. The
common textures of extrusive rocks are aphanitic, porphyritic and vesicular.
Examples: rhyolite, andesite, basalt
15
Igneous rocks are also classified according to silica content: felsic,
intermediate, mafic and ultramafic.
• felsic: also called granitic; >65% silica, generally light-colored
• intermediate: also called andesitic; 55-65% silica; generally medium
colored (medium gray)
• mafic: also called basaltic; 45-55% silica; generally dark colored
• ultramafic: <45% silica; generally very dark colored; composed mainly of
olivine and pyroxene which are the major constituents of the upper mantle
Sedimentary Rocks
These are rocks that formed through the accumulation, compaction, and
cementation of sediments. They generally form at surface or near surface
conditions.
Sedimentary processes at or near the surface of the Earth include: weathering
of rocks, sediment transport and deposition, compaction and cementation.
Factors in sedimentary processes: weathering and transport agents (water,
wind ice)
• Common sedimentary features: strata and fossils
a) Strata: >1cm is called bedding and anything less is called lamination;
layering is the result of a change in grain size and composition; each layer
represents a distinct period of deposition.
b) Fossils: remains and traces of plants and animals that are preserved in rocks
Sedimentary rocks are classified into clastic or non-clastic.
 Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of sediments from preexisting rocks.
When preexisting rocks are physically weathered and eroded, they form
sediments. When these sediments are transported, deposited, and lithified, they
form the clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks can be identified based on their
grain sizes that can range from 0.002 mm (e.g. clay size) to > 2 mm (coarse
gravel).
 Non-clastic sedimentary rocks can be biological, chemical, or a combination of
both. Biological sedimentary rocks are lithified accumulation of dead
organisms. Examples include coal (formed from carbon-rich plants) and
limestone (formed from the remains of calcareous organisms). On the other
hand, chemical sedimentary rocks are from chemical precipitation. An
example is rock salt formed when dissolved salts precipitate from a solution.
Below is a table of chemical sedimentary rocks based on composition and texture
size.

Metamorphic Rocks
These are rocks that form from the transformation of pre-existing rocks
(igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks) through the process of
metamorphism. Metamorphism can involve changes in the physical and chemical
properties of rocks in response to heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. They
are commonly formed underneath the earth through metamorphism.
Metamorphic rocks can be classified as foliated or non-foliated based on texture.
 Foliated metamorphic rocks have layered or banded appearance produced
by Regional metamorphism, exposure to high temperatures and pressures.
As the rock is drawn deeper into Earth, chemical changes in the minerals,
crystal growth, and compaction cause the original parent rock to be
metamorphosed.
o Examples include slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss.
 In contrast, non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have layered
appearance and was formed that have undergone contact metamorphism
where rocks are not exposed to the intense pressure that is found deeper
within Earth.
o Examples include marble, quartzite, and anthracite.
18
Foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks can be further classified based
on their parent rocks. However, such classification can be difficult because of the
rock alteration during metamorphism. The table below shows the parent rocks of
different foliated and non-foliated rocks.

There is a popular saying, “Nothing is unchanging except change itself.” What
do you think it means? How could you relate it with rocks? This saying emphasizes
that whether we are aware of it, everything around us is changing. Many geological
changes occur so slowly that they are difficult to observe just like the rock cycle in
figure 7.
What’s More?
19
Figure 7. The Rock Cycle
Source: https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/rockcycle/rockdiagram/
But nearly everywhere, rocks are slowly changing as they adjust to the
conditions and environment in which they are found. These changes are shown in
a model of Earth environments and materials called the rock cycle. The rock cycle
illustrates how geologic processes occurring both at the surface and underneath the
Earth’s surface can change a rock from one type to another as well as an example
of how Earth recycles itself. The sample diagram illustrates the series of natural
processes that can change rocks from one kind to another.
Let us check what you have learned in this module by making a recall

  • 7. 7 The Lithosphere is the solid portion of the Earth. It is solid and hard because it is made of rocks. Rocks are found everywhere. Good examples of rocks are mostly found where nature has recently exposed fresh rock, such as on sea cliffs, beaches, mountains, and volcanic terrains. Petrology is the science that deals with the study of the formation, composition, and classification of rocks. After going through this module, you are expected to:  Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic (S11ES-b-6) Pre-Assessment: Choose the letter of the correct answer. 1. Which of the following best describes a sedimentary rock? a. Can be classified based on the grain size b. Forms where there are bodies of water and usually contains fossils within it c. Undergone with the process of cooling and crystallization d. Can transformed into other rock depending on what process applied to it 2. Which of the following locations describes one example of a place where igneous rocks are forming? a. in a streambed or riverside b. on the surface of the sea floor c. everywhere beneath the earth's surface d. near or below an active volcano 3. How does the igneous rock forms? a. By solidification b. By cementation c. By heat and pressure d. By weathering What I Need to Know What I Know
  • 8. 8 4. Which of the following shows the sequence on how an igneous rock could change into metamorphic rock then into magma? a. melting crystallization heat and pressure b. melting heat and pressure crystallization c. crystallization melting heat and pressure d. crystallization heat and pressure melting 5. How do you classify metamorphic? a. According to the presence of silica b. According to the place where it formed c. According to its banded appearance d. According to its mineral composition 6. Where extrusive igneous rocks do could be found? a. Near volcanoes b. Deep inside the crust c. On magma hotspot d. Near water bodies 7. Rocks that have been subjected to tremendous heat and/or pressure, causing them to change into another type of rock are called: a. Igneous b. Sedimentary c. Metamorphic d. All of the above 8. Rocks that are formed from sediments that have settled at the bottom of a lake, sea or ocean are called: a. Igneous b. Sedimentary c. Metamorphic d. All of the above 9. Which of the following is a characteristic of igneous rocks? a. Found near volcanic or previously volcanic regions b. Contain skeletons of sea creatures c. Formed in layers d. Subjected to heat and pressure 10. Which statement about the rock cycle rock cycle is not true? a. Cementation is a process that leads to sedimentary rocks. b. When heat is applied to a rock and it melts, it way forms a metamorphic rock. c. A sedimentary rock in the future may change into another type of sedimentary rock d. Solidification is always needed to form an igneous rock.
  • 9. 9 Rocks are not all the same! The three main types, or classes, of rock are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous and the differences among them have to do with how they are formed. (https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/rockcycle/types.html) Figure 1. Rock Cycle Source: https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/rockcycle/index.html In your previous lesson, it was discussed that Earth has its different layers which are crust, mantle, and the core. Rocks are mostly found in oceanic crust and on continental crust in which humans can directly access. We will discover together the different categories of rocks. Do you know some? What are those? Lesson 1 Rocks: It’s Three Main Categories What’s In

Rocks are naturally occurring consolidated substances, which may be made up of minerals, other rock pieces, and fossil materials, such as shells or plants. Rocks are the result of various geological processes that occur both at and beneath the Earth’s surface or, in the case of meteorites, in other parts of the Universe. Rocks can be studied and differentiated between by grouping together those types that share a similar appearance, similar composition, and the same process of formation. How are rocks classified? Rocks are classified according to how they are formed. From the diagram above, we can see that: 1. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling or solidification of magma or lava. 2. Metamorphic rocks are formed by preexisting rocks that are exposed to extreme heat and pressure in the Earth’s interior, a process called metamorphism. 3. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the compaction and cementation of sediments, a process called lithification. Also, we can see that one type of rock can be transformed into another type depending on the process that it goes through. Surface temperature Air temperature ranges from -88oC (winter in polar regions) to 58oC (summer in tropical regions). Surface temperature ranges from 193oC (night in polar regions) to 111oC (day in equatorial regions). Why are the temperatures of Earth and the Moon so different? Surface features 25 % land (seven continents) with varied terrain of mountains, plains, river valleys. Ocean floor characterized by mountains, plains. 84 % heavily- cratered highlands. 16 % basalt-covered maria. Impact craters-- some with bright rays, crater chains, and rilles.

  • 14. 14 Figure 1. Rock Cycle Source: https://civiltoday.com/geotechnical-engineering/geology/258-rock-cycle-process-steps-with- diagram Igneous Rocks rocks that are formed from the solidification of molten rock material (magma or lava). Molten rock material can solidify below the surface of the earth (plutonic igneous rocks) or at the surface of the Earth (volcanic igneous rocks). Minerals are formed during the crystallization of the magma. Note that the rate of cooling is one of the most important factors that control crystal size and the texture of the rock in general. What is the difference between lava and magma? Igneous rocks are further classified as intrusive or extrusive igneous based on grain size.  Intrusive rocks, or plutonic rocks, are igneous rocks formed from solidified magma underneath the earth. They are coarse- grained due to the slow cooling of magma allowing crystal growth due to the gradual lowering of the temperature gradient at depth towards the surface would cause slow cooling/crystallization. Most of the intrusive rocks have phaneritic texture. Examples: granite, diorite, gabbro. Figure 2. Extrusive rock (1) and Intrusive rock (2) Source: https://slideplayer.com/slide/5682229/  Extrusive rocks, or volcanic rocks, are igneous rocks formed on the surface of the earth. They are cooled lava, which are molten rocks ejected on the surface through volcanic eruptions. They are fine-grained due to abrupt cooling on the surface. The fast rate of cooling/crystallization is due to huge variance in the temperature between Earth’s surface and underneath. The common textures of extrusive rocks are aphanitic, porphyritic and vesicular. Examples: rhyolite, andesite, basalt
  • 15. 15 Igneous rocks are also classified according to silica content: felsic, intermediate, mafic and ultramafic. • felsic: also called granitic; >65% silica, generally light-colored • intermediate: also called andesitic; 55-65% silica; generally medium colored (medium gray) • mafic: also called basaltic; 45-55% silica; generally dark colored • ultramafic: <45% silica; generally very dark colored; composed mainly of olivine and pyroxene which are the major constituents of the upper mantle Sedimentary Rocks These are rocks that formed through the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of sediments. They generally form at surface or near surface conditions. Sedimentary processes at or near the surface of the Earth include: weathering of rocks, sediment transport and deposition, compaction and cementation. Factors in sedimentary processes: weathering and transport agents (water, wind ice) • Common sedimentary features: strata and fossils a) Strata: >1cm is called bedding and anything less is called lamination; layering is the result of a change in grain size and composition; each layer represents a distinct period of deposition. b) Fossils: remains and traces of plants and animals that are preserved in rocks Sedimentary rocks are classified into clastic or non-clastic.  Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of sediments from preexisting rocks. When preexisting rocks are physically weathered and eroded, they form sediments. When these sediments are transported, deposited, and lithified, they form the clastic sedimentary rocks. These rocks can be identified based on their grain sizes that can range from 0.002 mm (e.g. clay size) to > 2 mm (coarse gravel).  Non-clastic sedimentary rocks can be biological, chemical, or a combination of both. Biological sedimentary rocks are lithified accumulation of dead organisms. Examples include coal (formed from carbon-rich plants) and limestone (formed from the remains of calcareous organisms). On the other hand, chemical sedimentary rocks are from chemical precipitation. An example is rock salt formed when dissolved salts precipitate from a solution. Below is a table of chemical sedimentary rocks based on composition and texture size.

  • 17. 17 Figure 5. Scheme for Sedimentary Rock Identification Source: https://castlelearning.com/review/reference/earth10.htm Metamorphic Rocks These are rocks that form from the transformation of pre-existing rocks (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks) through the process of metamorphism. Metamorphism can involve changes in the physical and chemical properties of rocks in response to heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. They are commonly formed underneath the earth through metamorphism. Metamorphic rocks can be classified as foliated or non-foliated based on texture.  Foliated metamorphic rocks have layered or banded appearance produced by Regional metamorphism, exposure to high temperatures and pressures. As the rock is drawn deeper into Earth, chemical changes in the minerals, crystal growth, and compaction cause the original parent rock to be metamorphosed. o Examples include slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss.  In contrast, non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have layered appearance and was formed that have undergone contact metamorphism where rocks are not exposed to the intense pressure that is found deeper within Earth. o Examples include marble, quartzite, and anthracite.
  • 18. 18 Foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks can be further classified based on their parent rocks. However, such classification can be difficult because of the rock alteration during metamorphism. The table below shows the parent rocks of different foliated and non-foliated rocks. Figure 6. Scheme for Metamorphic Rock Identification Source: https://www.kean.edu/~csmart/Structural/Lectures/01/Rock%20Review.htm There is a popular saying, “Nothing is unchanging except change itself.” What do you think it means? How could you relate it with rocks? This saying emphasizes that whether we are aware of it, everything around us is changing. Many geological changes occur so slowly that they are difficult to observe just like the rock cycle in figure 7. What’s More?
  • 19. 19 Figure 7. The Rock Cycle Source: https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/rockcycle/rockdiagram/ But nearly everywhere, rocks are slowly changing as they adjust to the conditions and environment in which they are found. These changes are shown in a model of Earth environments and materials called the rock cycle. The rock cycle illustrates how geologic processes occurring both at the surface and underneath the Earth’s surface can change a rock from one type to another as well as an example of how Earth recycles itself. The sample diagram illustrates the series of natural processes that can change rocks from one kind to another.
