A rock is a naturally
occurring solid aggregate
of one or more minerals.

is the scientific study of

rocks.
Rocks are constantly being transformed,
generated, and destroyed.
 FORMED THROUGH THE COOLING OF MAGMA.
MAGMA OR LAVA MAY BE SOLIFIED .

EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS

Fast cooling magna:

Fined grained (no crystal)

Slow cooling magna:

Coarse Grain
(Good Crystallization)
INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

GRANITE BASALT

DIORITE
ANDESITE
Form when loose sediment (rocks, sand) are deposited by
water, compacted, and cemented together.

Form along beaches, by rivers, or

under the water in lake or oceans.
DEPOSITION: accumulate on Earth’s surface.

LITHIFICATION: unconsolidated
materials become solidified into rock.
 LIMESTONE
BAUXITE

CONGLOMERATE

SANDSTONE
forms from pre-existing rocks: either metamorphic, igneous,
sedimentary. Metamorphism - transformation of one rock type into
another.
2 types of metamorphism
1. Regional-due to changes in pressure and temperature
over large region of the crust
2. Contact-mainly by heat due to contact with magma

1. Making arrowheads and knife (obsidian)
2. Used in building road map (basalt)
3. Used in buildings, monuments, and tombstone (granite)
4. Fuel – (coal)
5. History of the earth.
THAT’S ALL FOR TODAY
