Sedimentary Rocks
![Page 13: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sedimentary Rocks• A. Process to form a sedimentary rock• 1. weathering and erosion• weathering- wind and water breaking rocks into smaller
pieces• Erosion- wind and water carrying away particles
![Page 14: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sedimentary Rocks• 2. Deposition- sediments settling out of the wind
or water
![Page 15: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sedimentary Rocks• 3. Compaction- process of pressing the sediments
together
![Page 16: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sedimentary Rocks• 4. Cementation- dissolved minerals crystalize and
glue particles of sediment together
![Page 17: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Types of Sedimentary Rocks• 1. Clastic Rocks-rocks made from pieces of other
rock• a. shale – made of clay• b. sandstone – made from sand• c. conglomerate – mixture of different sized rounded
particles• d. breccia- mixture of different sized jagged particles

Metamorphic Rocks• Metamorphic Rocks- existing rocks are changed
by heat and pressure• Meta- change• Morphism - forms
![Page 27: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Types of Metamorphic rocks• Foliated Rocks- when minerals flatten out and line
up in bands or parallel layers due to pressure• a. gneiss forms from granite• b. slate forms from shale
![Page 28: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Types of Metamorphic Rocks• 2. Nonfoliated Rocks- rocks that do not show
bandsNot enough pressure on the rock to form bands
a. marble forms from limestoneb. quartzite forms from sandstone
![Page 29: Rocks are naturally occurring solid mixtures of one or more minerals or organic matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ee75503460f94bf87d6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
USES of metamorphic rocks• 1. Marble: buildings, statues, countertop• 2. Slate: flooring, roofing, chalkboards, pool tables
