Rock Vocabulary
This document provides instructions for students to complete assignments on metamorphic rocks, including turning in a metamorphic rock lab and copying vocabulary terms and definitions into their notebook. It directs students to specific pages to find assignments and vocabulary related to types of rocks, how they are formed, and geological processes.
Rock Cycle Vocabulary
The document defines key terms related to the rock cycle, including the three main types of rock - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. It explains that igneous rock forms from cooling magma, sedimentary rock forms through compaction and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rock forms from changes to existing rock by heat and pressure. The rock cycle is also defined as the process where rocks slowly transform between these three types over time through weathering, erosion, deposition and metamorphism.
Kinds of rocks
There are three major types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks form through the accumulation and compression of sediments and organic materials. Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks that have been altered in form due to heat, pressure, and chemical changes in the Earth's crust. Examples of each rock type are given.
The Rock Cycle
Sedimentary rocks form through the sedimentation and accumulation of minerals and particles. Metamorphic rocks form when existing rock types are transformed by heat and pressure. Igneous rocks form when magma cools and solidifies, either below the surface as intrusive rocks or above as extrusive rocks.
Origin& evolution of magma ,magmatism related to plate tectonics.
This document summarizes a seminar on the origin and evolution of magma and its relationship to plate tectonics. It discusses how magma originates from partial melting of the solid earth due to increased temperature and pressure. Magma composition evolves through processes like fractional crystallization, assimilation, and magma mixing. Magmatism is related to plate tectonics through mechanisms like decompression melting at mid-ocean ridges and continental rifts, flux melting near subduction zones, and intraplate volcanism from mantle plumes not associated with plate boundaries. Examples discussed include the Deccan Traps basalts formed by a mantle plume in India.
KINDS OF ROCKS
The document discusses the three main types of rocks: igneous rocks which form from cooling magma, sedimentary rocks which are formed from layers of compacted sediment, and metamorphic rocks which form from existing rocks being changed by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions when exposed to new environmental conditions.
Rock and the Rock Cycle
The document discusses the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. It describes the rock cycle whereby rocks constantly change from one type to another through geological forces. Igneous rocks form from molten rock and can be intrusive or extrusive. Sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments and can be clastic or non-clastic. Metamorphic rocks form from heat and pressure acting on existing rocks, either through contact metamorphism near magma or regional metamorphism during tectonic activity.
Metamorphic rocks
Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures within the Earth, causing their mineral composition and texture to change without melting. There are two main types of metamorphic rocks: foliated rocks, whose minerals are flattened into parallel layers that resemble pages in a book, such as slate, shale and gneiss; and non-foliated rocks, which do not have obvious banding and include quartzite, marble and anthracite coal.

Different types of_rocks-savvie
The document discusses three main types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. It provides details about the formation of each.

Sedimentary rocks like sandstone, limestone, and shale form from compressed sediments and contain visible layers. The document includes examples of each rock type and notes that the author collected mostly metamorphic rocks.
Foliated & nonfoliated rocks
Foliated rocks form bands of minerals that are lined up due to being subjected to heat and pressure during metamorphism, while nonfoliated rocks do not have aligned bands as they were not exposed to the same conditions. Phyllite is an example of a foliated rock where microscopic bands are lined up, and marble is an example of a nonfoliated rock with unaligned mineral crystals that was originally limestone.
3 Types of rocks
There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma or lava and can be intrusive or extrusive. Sedimentary rocks form through the accumulation of sediments such as weathered debris, minerals from solution, or organic matter. Metamorphic rocks form from the transformation of existing rocks through metamorphism, which means "change in form" under high temperatures and pressures.

GEOGRAPHY YEAR 10: CLASSIFICATION OF ROCKS
Rocks are classified into three main types - igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary - based on how they are formed. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma either underground or on the surface. Metamorphic rocks form from intense heat and pressure altering other rock types. Sedimentary rocks form from compression of sediments over millions of years at the bottoms of bodies of water. Each rock type has distinguishing features and examples.
Igneous rock
This was created to meet the curriculum outcomes in New Brunswick's Grade 7 Science Earth's Crust Unit.
Rocks formation and cycle
Here are the answers to the questions from the passages:
P226 –
1. Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic
2. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments
3. Sedimentary rocks can tell us about the environment they were deposited in, such as depth of water or presence of fossils
5. Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are subjected to heat and pressure
8. During metamorphism, the mineral grains in sedimentary and igneous rocks recrystallize and change shape
P232 –
1. Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools and solidifies within the earth's crust
2. Extrusive igne
Metamorphic Rocks
Metamorphic rocks are formed from existing rocks through recrystallization caused by heat and pressure, without melting. There are two types of metamorphism: regional metamorphism occurs over large areas with extreme heat and pressure, as in mountain building; contact metamorphism occurs only near intrusions and does not melt the rock. During metamorphism, new mineral crystals form and original structures can be distorted, resulting in foliated rocks like schist. Limestone becomes marble, sandstone becomes quartzite, and shale becomes slate through metamorphism. Fossils are not found in metamorphic rocks as the heat and pressure would destroy them.
Minerals and Formation
Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a defined crystal structure and chemical composition. They are composed of elements or compounds and are the building blocks of rocks. Minerals can be identified based on physical properties like hardness, crystal structure, color, and cleavage or chemical properties like acid reaction or magnetism, which are determined by the arrangement of atoms within the mineral.
Rock Cycle
The document discusses the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooling lava. Sedimentary rocks form through the compression of sediments and can include limestone, sandstone, and shale. Metamorphic rocks form from existing igneous and sedimentary rocks undergoing heat and pressure, changing their composition, such as limestone becoming marble through metamorphism. The rock cycle illustrates how rocks continuously change between these three types through geological processes over millions of years.
Types of rocks
Igneous rocks form from magma and can cool quickly on the surface as extrusive rocks or slowly underground as intrusive rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the compaction or cementation of sediments like clay, silt, sand, or pebbles. Metamorphic rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks that were transformed by heat and pressure into a new rock type through a process called metamorphism.
Metamorphic rocks process of formation 2014
This document discusses how metamorphic rocks are formed and classified. Metamorphic rocks form deep underground through heat and pressure changing existing rocks. They are classified based on their texture into either foliated rocks, which have layers or bands, or non-foliated rocks, which lack layers or bands. Common foliated metamorphic rocks include slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss, while common non-foliated rocks include quartzite and marble.
6th Grade Chapter 15 Part 2
The document summarizes the three main rock types - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks - and how they relate in the rock cycle. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma underground or lava on the surface. Sedimentary rocks form from compression of sediments. Metamorphic rocks form from changes to existing rocks through heat, pressure, and fluids. The rock cycle shows how all three rock types are interrelated and can transform into one another over time.
Petrologi 2-genesis magma
The document discusses the formation and characteristics of magma and igneous rocks. It explains that magma is formed through the partial melting of rocks in the mantle and crust due to heat from radioactive decay and changes in temperature and pressure. Magma can form different rock types as it evolves through processes like crystallization, assimilation, and magma mixing. Basalt forms from mantle melting, andesite from basalt interacting with crustal rocks, and granite from the crystallization of andesite magma.
Fossil fuel
Soil forms slowly over hundreds or thousands of years from weathered rock and decayed animal and plant remains. Fossil fuels like coal and natural gas are non-renewable resources that are formed over millions of years as the remains of ancient organisms are buried and exposed to heat and pressure underground, transforming first into peat or soft coal and eventually into hard coal, oil or natural gas. The main difference between coal and natural gas is that coal forms from buried plant remains in ancient swamps, while natural gas forms from the remains of once-living organisms buried in the oceans.
Rock cycle 3
Rocks continuously change forms through the rock cycle. There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, sedimentary rocks form from compressed and cemented sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks undergoing heat and pressure. Plate tectonics and the rock cycle drive the recycling of Earth's rocks as they change forms over millions of years.
Edit610 Rock Cycle
The document discusses the rock cycle and different types of rocks. It describes how igneous rocks such as basalt and pumice are formed by volcanic activity. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone form through the compaction and cementation of sediments. Metamorphic rocks such as marble and slate are formed by the transformation of other rock types under heat and pressure. Fossils provide evidence of past life and the document includes examples. Weathering, erosion, temperature and pressure are identified as natural processes that change and cycle rocks over time.
Geologic Similes
The document discusses four geologic principles - uniformitarianism, superposition, original horizontality, and catastrophism - and compares each principle to the layers of a cake. Uniformitarianism is like a cake in that the ingredients and process of making a cake are always the same. Superposition is like a cake as the bottom layer was placed first and each subsequent layer above it is younger. Original horizontality is like cake layers in that they should be placed horizontally. Catastrophism is like a dropped cake that is suddenly ruined. The document provides additional examples comparing the principles to other everyday items like clothes piles and bicycles.
Exploration
Ancient societies like the Egyptians, Mayans, and builders of Stonehenge began exploring the night sky to develop calendars and track seasonal changes. Greeks like Aristotle and Ptolemy developed early geocentric models of the solar system, though their ideas were inaccurate. Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and Newton made important contributions to establishing the heliocentric model through observations, mathematics, and physics theories like gravity. Continued exploration has led to discoveries of new objects in our solar system like Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Kuiper Belt.

What time is it?
The document discusses the Earth's rotation and revolution and how it influences time measurements. It takes the Earth approximately 24 hours to complete one rotation on its axis. The days of the week are named after objects visible in the sky, with Sunday through Friday named after the sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. Months are based on the moon's cycle around Earth, taking approximately 28 days, while years represent the time for Earth to complete one revolution around the sun, which takes 365.2422 days.
Geologic Principle Similes
The document discusses geological principles for understanding the Earth's history using the analogy of a layer cake. It explains four key principles:
1) Uniformitarianism - geological processes occurred the same way in the past as today, like how cakes are made the same way each time.
2) Superposition - the oldest sedimentary layers are on the bottom, like how cake layers are placed with the bottom being oldest.
3) Original Horizontality - sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers, similar to cake layers being placed horizontally.
4) Catastrophism - geological change can occur suddenly, akin to a dropped cake being ruined suddenly.
Dance of the planets
The document describes the fundamental force of gravity. It explains that gravity is a weak but predictable force that helped form the universe and has a constant presence, distorting space and time and acting on all matter through mass. Gravity keeps objects like ourselves on Earth and the Earth orbiting the sun according to laws proposed by Newton and Einstein describing gravity's proportional relationship to mass and dependence on net force and inertia.
Why do we measure time the way that we do
Day and night are caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis over 24 hours. Weeks consist of 7 days which are associated with the sun and visible objects in the night sky. Months are based on the moon's approximately 29.5 day revolution around Earth, though months contain 30-31 days. Years measure the 365.2422 days it takes Earth to orbit the sun, requiring a leap year every four years, except for centennial years which must be divisible by 400 to be a leap year.
Cloud Challenge: Alto Clouds
This document discusses two types of middle-level clouds known as alto clouds: altostratus and altocumulus. Altostratus clouds are gray and blue clouds that often cover the sky and are associated with areas of storms and continuous precipitation, composed of ice and water droplets. Altocumulus clouds appear as gray, puffy masses that form in parallel waves or bands, usually occurring on warm, humid summer mornings and often indicating upcoming thunderstorms. Pictures and websites with additional information about alto clouds are also provided.

For each principle, students come up with a simile comparing it to a layer cake and illustrate it. They then answer the evocative question of how the geologic principles are like a layer cake by brainstorming as a group.
Rocks Review 2013-2014
This document provides information about classifying and identifying rocks and minerals. It includes directions for an in-class activity where students will classify rocks, label the rock cycle, and answer questions about rock and mineral formation. It also describes a review game where students answer questions as a group about topics like the three main rock types, what rocks are made of, how rocks are used, and processes involved in the rock cycle.
Minerals Review
This document contains 10 questions about minerals and answers the questions. It tests knowledge about the definitions of minerals, including that minerals must be inorganic, form repeating crystalline patterns, and can form through crystallization of magma. It also covers hardness of common minerals on the Mohs scale such as diamond, quartz and talc. The questions assess understanding of how minerals form inside the Earth and on its surface.
Where does it come from?
The things we use everyday come from minerals, animals, and plant products. Can you identify the items and their sources?
