Igneous Rock Properties• Contain interlocking crystals – held together
strongly which makes the rock hard.• The crystals have a disorderly arrangement.• Crystal size depends on how quickly the rock
solidified.• They never contain
fossils.

Igneous Rock Formation• When magma cools above the Earth’s surface
it forms extrusive igneous rocks – the magma cools quickly and small crystals are formed.
• When magma cools below the Earth’s surface it forms intrusive igneous rocks – the magma cools slowly and large crystals grow as the magma solidifies.The Rock Cycle – Boardworks

Sedimentary Rock Properties• Often have layers showing deposition at
different times.• Often have fossils trapped within them.• They consist of lots
of small grains and are often porous and crumbly.

Sedimentary Rock Formation• Weathering creates small rock fragments
which are transported to the sea where they are deposited – sediment.
• Dead creatures may then become trapped – become fossils.
• The pressure of the layers above and the effects of salt cement the sediments together – happens over millions of years.
• Rocks formed – sandstone, mudstone and limestone.

• Sedimentary rocks can also be formed by precipitation.
• Certain minerals are dissolved in seas and lakes.• These dry up over millions of years.• The water evaporates and the
dissolved minerals precipitate.• Rocks formed –

Metamorphic Rock Properties• Often have layer structures of crystals – effect
of heat and pressure.• Usually denser and harder than sedimentary
rocks.• Sometimes show distortions caused by the
movements that leadto their formation.

Metamorphic Rock Formation• Formed by the effect of extreme pressure and
temperatures deep within the Earth.• This changes existing rocks so that new rocks
are formed.The Rock Cycle – Boardworks

Types of Rocks and Minerals• All rocks are made of two or more minerals.• Minerals are not made of rocks – minerals are
the same all the way through. http://www.rocksforkids.com/RFK/identification.html

Identifying Minerals
• Colour• Luster• Specific Gravity• Crystal Form• Cleavage• Fracture• Tenacity• Hardness• Transparency• Special properties - magnetism, chatoyancy, fluorescence,
odor, streak, burn test, conductivity.
