Word Bank (15 points)
In not more than ten (10) sentences, explain the three rock types using the words inside the cloud. Your
output will be graded based on this rubric:

5 – Excellent 2 – Poor or Needs Improvement (s)

4 – Good 1 – Very Poor
3 – Fair or Average 0 – Not Observed

A
cooling of magma, obsidian, gabbro, intrusive,
extrusive, mineral composition, basalt, dunnites,
texture, location, phaneritic, aphanitic,
crystallization, granite, pumice, volcanic rocks,
plutonic rocks

Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of magma or underground

molten rocks. Crystallization refers to the formation of rock crystals while
deposition is desublimation or gas to solid phase transformation. These are the
two parts of the processes or factors involved in igneous rocks. The two locations
of igneous rocks are Intrusive rocks or plutonic rocks that crystallize in Earth’s
surface and Extrusive rocks or volcanic rocks that erupt onto the surface. Gabbro,
granite, pegmatite, diorite, and peridotite are rocks that you will find in intrusive
rocks, while pumice, basalt, obsidian, andesite, dacite, rhyolite, scoria, and tuff
found in extrusive rocks. There are four types of mineral composition and these
are ultramafic such as periodite and komatiites, mafic like gabbro and basalt,
intermediate such as diorite and andesite and felsic like granite and rhyolite. The
texture of igneous rocks includes phaneritic, aphanitic, glassy (vitreous),
pegmatic, pophyritic and lastly, the pyroclastic. An example of rock is dunnite, it is
a common rock in earth’s upper mantle.

Quartz, Claystone, Stalagmite, Stalactite

Sedimentary Rocks form at the bottom of the river, lakes and ocean when
layers of sand, mud, organic matter and eroded particles deposits as sediments
for million years. There are five processes involved in sedimentary rocks. First is
weathering with two types and these are chemical weathering and physical
weathering. Second is erosion, an earthen materials that worn away and
transported by natural forces, the third one is transport, a movements of
sediments from one place to another, then the next one is deposition which is a
setting of sediments before they are lithified to form sedimentary rocks and lastly,
the diagenesis also called as lithification, it’s responsible for the transformation of
sediments into sedimentary rocks. Detrital sedimentary rocks formed from
detritus that is classified by its grain size. Chemical formed when minerals
dissolved in water and begin to precipitate and deposit at the base of the water
body. Limestone is a sedimentary rock used as building material and in making
cement then stalactites hang from the ceiling of a cave while stalagmites grow
from the cave floor and these three sediment rocks are the deposition of calcium
carbonate or calcium (CO₃). Silica (SiO₄), also called as silicon dioxide (SiO ₂) comes
with different forms like microcrystalline quartz, chert, flint, jasper, agate, coal,
peat and lignite. Examples of sedimentary rocks are siltstone, claystone, and shale
and these rocks are included in mudrocks. With compression , an organism’s
remains are put under great pressure inside rock layers.
 C
heat, pressure, non-foliated, schist, chemically
active fluids, metamorphisms, foliated, phyllite,
quartzite, transformed rocks, slate, gneiss, marble

Metamorphic rocks are transformed rocks that have a process called

metamorphism which means “change in form”. Heat, pressure, and chemically
active fluids are part of processes involved in metamorphism. Heat or
temperature is a key variable in metamorphism and when the temperature
increases, the rate of metamorphic reactions also increases. Next is pressure, it
has implications for mineral stability and texture of metamorphic rocks. Lastly is
chemically active fluids, water is the main fluid present within rocks that
facilitates the transfer of ions between minerals and within minerals and
increases the rates at which metamorphic reaction takes place. There are also
two types of metamorphic rocks. First is foliated that is produced by exposure of
heat and directed pressure like slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss. The second one is
non-foliated that do not have a layered or banded appearance such as marble,
quartzite, hornfels and novaculite.
