Major Rock Groups• Igneous

– Formed from a melt (i.e. molten rock)– Plutonic (i.e. intrusive): slow cooling and crystallization

from a magma.– Volcanic (i.e. extrusion): quick cooling at the surface (lava).

• Sedimentary– Formed at the Earth’s surface.– Clastic (mineral fragments or grains, clays)– Chemical (crystalline chemical/biochemical precipitates)

• Metamorphic– Changed by pressure, temperature and hot chemical fluids.

Remember

• Lithification =– Sediment turns to sedimentary rock by the processes of

compaction and cementation.

Remember

• Note that the process of melting is not involved or associated with metamorphism.

• Note that the grade of metamorphism could be increased (e.g., low-grade metamorphic rocks to high-grade metamorphic rocks) as the conditions of metamorphism are increased.

• The rock cycle demonstrates the relationships among the three major rock groups.

• It is powered by the interior heat of the Earth as well as Earth’s momentum and the energy from the sun.

• It involves processes on Earth’s surface as well as the Earth’s interior.

• It connects the “hydrologic cycle” with the “tectonic cycle”.

What is a metamorphic rock? The term "metamorphic" means "to change form." Any rock (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) can become a metamorphic rock.

METAMORPHIC ROCK. Metamorphic – Formed from older “parent rock” (either igneous or sedimentary) under intense heat and/or pressure far beneath the earth’s.
