Beginning”.
Go through the presentation and create a chart on each type of rock
and how they form. Include a description, where they are found, and
sketch an example.

Name that rock...
Believe it or not, rocks can be classified into groups
– just like living organisms.
The three main groups are:
igneous sedimentary metamorphic
What are the clues to help classify rocks?
?

5. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
Sedimentary
Usually found close to the surface where weathering occurs.
Grains often visible.
Fossils can be present.
Often porous (let water pass through easily).
Sedimentary rocks –
form from sediments
that get cemented
together.

6. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
Igneous rocks
Tough rocks with no plates visible.
Some have crystals
No fossils present – EVER!
Igneous rocks – form
when molten rock cools
and hardens.

Rock factory
A volcano is a giant rock factory.
Magma (molten rock) from below the ground is
pushed to the surface and cools to form igneous
rocks.

8. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
Metamorphic rock
Are made deep in the earth’s crust
Beds often have wavy bands, but can also be a solid color.
Often very dense.
Metamorphic rocks –
form from other rocks
being under extreme
heat and pressure.

Go through the next slides and practice
identifying rocks based on the picture and
clues.
Practice

10. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
Your first specimen...
Crystals visible
Very tough rock
Water cannot pass through (not porous)
Is it sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic?
Igneous!
Clues:
What is this?

11. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
How about this one...
Fossils present
Very porous
Layers visible
Sedimentary!
Clues:
?
Is it sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic?

12. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
And this one...
Grains very small
Clear layers
Not porous
No fossils
Metamorphic!
Clues:
?
Is it sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic?

13. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
Last chance...
Grains very small
No layers
Not porous
No fossils
Metamorphic!
Clues:
?
Is it sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic?

1. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma
produced by volcanoes.
2.Sedimentary rocks never contain fossils.
3. Igneous rocks are usually very porous.
4. Sedimentary rocks often have layers.
5. Granite is a metamorphic rock.

Changing rocks
The rock cycle

16. © OUP: To be used solely in purchaser’s school or college
All change!
The two processes together (weathering and
transportation) are called erosion.
Reminder:
Rocks may last a long time but they do change.
Even tough igneous rocks may be broken down to
smaller particles. We call this process weathering.
Small particles may be moved to new areas. We
call this transportation.

Squeezing rocks
What happens to particles from eroded rock?
Sediments may be laid down by water. Over many
years the sediments build up and stick together to
form a new sort of rock.
Sometimes earthquakes and volcanoes bury old
rocks underground. Very high temperatures and
pressures change these rocks into new ones called
metamorphic rocks.
