The document discusses three main rock types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. It describes how igneous rocks can be identified by their color and texture, and lists some examples. Sedimentary rocks are described as clastic, bioclastic, or stratified, and examples are given. Metamorphic rocks are defined as either foliated or nonfoliated based on mineral alignment.

1. Rocks: Igneous, Sedimentary & Metamorphic

2. Igneous: Compare color & texture Color: Felsic vs Mafic Texture: Fine vs Coarse

3. Color: Mafic - Dark color Felsic - Light color Igneous: Compare color & texture

4. Igneous: Compare color & texture Texture: (crystal size) Coarse Intrusive - cooled slowly Fine Extrusive - cooled quickly

5. Igneous: Compare color & texture Rock Identification is: 1 Granite 2 Basalt 3 Rhyolite 1 2 3

6. Sedimentary: Clastic Bioclastic Stratification

9. Metamorphic: Foliated vs Nonfoliated

10. Metamorphic: Foliated vs Nonfoliated Foliated - You can see mineral alignment and banding. Nonfoliated - cannot see any mineral alignment or banding

11. Metamorphic: Foliated vs Nonfoliated Mineral Identification: 1 Gneiss 2 Marble 1 2

12. The End
