Includes: bits of existing rocks, minerals, and organic materials Most sedimentary rocks are layered. Three types of sedimentary rocks Clastic Chemical Organic (once living) Sedimentary Rocks Clastic Rocks: Sedimentary Rocks Clastic Rocks Pieces of rock, minerals, and organic materials cemented together Bits can be as small as single grains of mud or as large as boulders. Examples: Conglomerate Shale sandstone Sedimentary Rocks Chemical Rocks: Sedimentary Rocks Chemical Rocks Form when rich in dissolved minerals evaporates, leaving the minerals behind, or when chemical changes form minerals Examples: Rock gypsum Rock salt Some limestone Sedimentary Rocks Organic rocks: Sedimentary Rocks Organic rocks Formed from remains of plants and animals or from parts, such as shells, or organisms Sometimes contain fossils Examples: Coal limestone Metamorphic Rocks A change of identity: Metamorphic Rocks A change of identity New rocks that form from existing rock due to changes in heat, pressure, or chemicals (metamorphism). These changes result in a change in texture (size and shape of mineral grains) Three metamorphism conditions. Contact metamorphism Regional metamorphism Burial metamorphismMetamorphic Rocks A change of identity: Metamorphic Rocks A change of identity Contact Metamorphism Temperature and not pressure causes a change Regional Metamorphism Buried deep below Earth’s surface High temperature and pressure Burial Metamorphism Least amount of change Low temperature and pressure Metamorphic Rocks A change of identity: Metamorphic Rocks A change of identity Banded metamorphic rocks Look as if they contain bands, or thin layers May look wavy or strainght Gniess- similar to granite Slate- forms from shale Non-banded metamorphic rocks Mineral grains not lined up Texture is massive Marble-forms from limestone Quartzite-from sandstone Rock Cycle: Rock Cycle All rocks can be changed into another rock through metamorphism The rock cycle may “move”, or change, in many ways.
