  1. CH. 8 SEC 1 THE ROCK CYCLE

  2. Goal /Purpose • Students will learn that evidence from rocks allows us to the understand evolution of life on earth • Students will also learn how the rock cycle and movement of earths plates have changed over time

  3. BIG IDEAS • GEOLOGY- IS THE STUDY OF THE STRUCTURE OF PLANET EARTH AND THE FORCES THAT MAKE AND SHAPE EARTH. • EROSION- OCCURS WHEN RUNNING WATER, ICE, OR WIND BREAK DOWN ROCKS AND CARRY PIECES AWAY.

  4. EROSION

  5. BIG IDEAS • UNIFORMITARIANISM- HUTTON’S PRINCIPLE THAT STATES THE GEOLOGIC PROCESSES THAT OPERATE TODAY ALSO OPERATED IN THE PAST. • KEY- ANCIENT ROCKS CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY OBSERVING PRESENT DAY GEOLOGIC PROCESSES.

  6. TYPES OF ROCKS • KEY- GEOLOGISTS CLASSIFY ROCKS INTO THREE MAIN GROUPS- IGNEOUS, SEDIMENTARY, AND METAMORPHIC. • IGNEOUS ROCKS- FORM WHEN MOLTEN MATERIAL FROM BENEATH THE EARTH’S SURFACE COOLS AND HARDENS AND MAY FORM ON OR BELOW THE EARTH SURFACE.

  7. IGNEOUS ROCKS

  8. TYPES OF ROCKS • SEDIMENTARY ROCKS- IS MADE WHEN SEDIMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED AND THEN PRESSED TOGETHER TO FORM SOLID ROCK. • KEY- MOST SEDIMENTS ARE TINY PIECES OF ROCKS AND MINERALS

  9. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS

  10. TYPES OF ROCKS • METAMORPHIC ROCKS- FORMS WHEN AN EXISTING ROCK IS CHANGED BY HEAT, PRESSURE, OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS. • KEY- MOST METAMORPHIC ROCK FORMS UNDER PRESSURE DEEP UNDERGROUND

  11. METAMORPHIC ROCK

  12. THE ROCK CYCLE • KEY- FORCES INSIDE EARTH AND AT THE SURFACE PRODUCE A ROCK CYCLE THAT BUILDS, CHANGES, AND DESTROYS ROCKS.

  13. ROCK CYCLE • VOLCANIC ACTIVITY- MAGMA (molten material) HARDENS UNDERGROUND OR ON THE SURFACE FORMING IGNEOUS ROCK. • EX- GRANITE, BASALT • EROSION- WEARS AWAY MOUNTAINS EXPOSING ROCKS AND BREAKING THEM DOWN

  14. CONTD • DEPOSITION- STEAMS CARRY PARTICLES OF ROCK AND FORM SEDIMENT. THE LAYERS PRESS TOGETHER TO FORM SEDIMENTARY ROCK • HEAT AND PRESSURE- LAYERS OF SEDIMENT ARE PILED AND PRESSURE INCREASES FORMING A METAMORPHIC ROCK LIKE QUARTZITE • MELTING- FORCES INSIDE THE EARTH CAN FORCE ALL THREE TYPES BENEATH THE SURFACE WHERE HEAT AND PRESSURE MELT THE ROCK AND BEGIN TO FORM NEW ROCK

  15. THE ROCK CYCLE
