Rock Types

1.Rock cycle- rock cycle is the endless change of rocks and magma. First the magma get cool in the outside of volcanic, the lava get cold down and become igneous rock. Cool inside the volcanic is call intrusive rock, the outside is call extrusive rock. When the wind and waves keep and keep hit the igneous rock, this process is call erosion and weathering. This process keep and keep doing, igneous rock will broke into sediment and sediments cement together is call sedimentary rock. When the sedimentary rock get heat and pressure, it will become metamorphic rock. When metamorphic get heat again, it will become magma again.

2.Rocks-vocabulary
Metamorphic rock-Rock change by pressure and heat.


Magma/lava- molten rock found inside the volcano.


Solidification- magma became solid by cooling.

Igneous rock- magma get cool down.


Weathiering-breaking rock into pieces.

Erosion-pieces rock get transported.

Sediment- sand.

Compaction-compress

Cementation-combine.

sedimentary rock- many sand combine together.

3.Rock types
igneous intrusive- cool inside the volcano with big crystals.

igneous extrusive- cool outside the volcano with small crystals.


sedimentary/clastic-dirty rock.


sedimentary/crystalline-formed under water.

sedimentary/bioclastic- form dead animal and plant.

metamorphic/foliated-with layer in the surface.

metamorphic/non-foliated -with no layer in the surface.

Crystals & Minerals

1.crystals

In the Crystal Growth Lab, we learned how mineral become crystals. We learned how minerals evaporating and crystallized. We also learned the properites of the mineral, like cleavage and fracture
   
2.mineral properties
Metallic luster: the mineral looks like metal.

Non-metallic luster: the mineral not looks like metal.  

Color: what the rock is likes like.


Streak: a color form mineral powdered.


Hardness: how hard the mineral is.

Cleavage: a mineral that breaks evenly.

Fracture: a mineral that breaks not evenly.

Composition: what the rock is contain.





3.Mineral identification

BIoitte mica
Color: black to dark brown
Nonmetallic luster: Not looks like metal.
Fracture: breaks unevenly
Hardness: 2.5-3
Steak: white
Composition: Basic fluoro potassium, magnesium, iron aluminum silicate




Quartz
Color:Colorless or variable
Nonmetallic luster: Not looks like metal.
Cleavage: breaks evenly
Hardness: 7
Steak: white
Composition:SiO2
