A Closer Look at the Rock Cycle

Directions: Using the Rock Cycle Diagram on page 67 in your textbook, complete the following questions.

1. Does the rock cycle have a starting point and an ending point? Explain.

2. How might the theory of plate tectonic explain how a sediment rock became an

igneous rock?

3. What must happen before a rock can become and igneous rock?

4. Briefly describe how each type of rock was formed.

5. What two geological processes causes existing rocks to produce sediment?

Classifying Sedimentary, Metamorphic and Igneous

Rocks Lab

Purpose: This lab is designed to help students understand the processes that form igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Using the charts, students will be able to identify rocks by their physical characteristics.

Materials: o Rock samples o Magnifying lens o Student worksheet and guide

Procedure: 1. Working with a partner and using the magnifying lens, examine rock samples and

fill-in the rock data chart.

2. Compare the rock to the identifying characteristics shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1: Characteristics of Rock Types Rock Type Formed by Some Identifying Characteristics

Igneous Cooling of magma

Surface can be sooth as glass.

OR

Individual crystals can be large enough to be seen by the human eye.

If crystals are visible, they often appear to interlock, like pieces of a puzzle.

Sedimentary Tiny rock pieces cementing together

Can contain fossils.

Can sometimes see of feel individual sediments such as sand or pebbles.

Can be more crumbly than other rock types.

Can sometimes feel lighter than other rock types.

Metamorphic High heat and/or high pressure of the earth

Often see different bands of color sandwiched together.

Crystals can be very small and hard to see.

3. Your cousin called to tell you she found the coolest rock while she was at camp. She knows you have been studying rocks at school, and she asks you what type of rock she has. Which of the following facts would be the most helpful to you to begin to identify the type of rock and which does not help at all? Explain your reasoning.

Characteristics: The rock is light in color. The rock is shiny. The rock was found high in the slopes of an extinct volcano. The rock is small enough to fit in her hand.
