The Rock Cycle
Quiz 3!
Rock cycle metamorphic rocks igneous rocks sedimentary rocks important to note  rock types,   processes,   intermediary states,   and   shortcuts
 
 
IGNEOUS ROCK

METAMORPHIC ROCKS
cools & solidifies Igneous Rock Weathering Transport & Deposition Sedimentary Rock Lithification Weathering Transport & Deposition Metamorphic Rock Heat & Pressure The Rock Cycle Heat & Pressure Magma Sediment
Limestone-  sedimentary rock Marble-  metamorphic rock
How is Turkey Like a Metamorphic Rock? Transformed in the Solid State
If there  is   melting ,  then it’s  not  metamorphism

Earth’s  Internal structure   Core (2200 mi) Mantle (1800 mi) Crust (5-25 mi)
Inner Core Mantle Crust Outer core solid (due to  very  high pressure) composed of Fe & Ni 7000-9000 °F
Outer Core molten composed of  Fe & Ni 5400-7000 °F generates magnetic field due to convective flow Inner core Mantle Crust
Mantle Inner core Crust Outer core majority of Earth’s volume composed of oxides of Fe, Si, and Mg data from volcanic material & experimental work - 3300- 5100 °F - divided into 3 zones
3 mantle zones Uppermost mantle - rigid Asthenosphere - plastic - moves indpt of lithosphere Mesosphere - rigid Mesosphere Asthenosphere Uppermost mantle lithosphere mantle
Crust thin, brittle layer contains continents & ocean basins abundant elements: O, Si, Al, and Fe Moho  = discontinuity between crust & mantle Lithosphere  = crust + uppermost mantle Mantle Outer core Inner core
Continental vs. oceanic crust Continental Oceanic Thickness thick thin Composition granite basalt Elements Si & Al Fe & Mg Density low high Age old young
Isostasy maintenance of hydrostatic equilibrium of crust  -AKA buoyancy adding weight to crust = sink removing weight = rise
