HBA: Task no.3

A. Collect at least five rock samples in your place and take a photo of the samples. Describe the characteristics
of each rock depending on their appearance, texture, color, and layers (or bands). Then classify them as to
igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rock. Place the photo of rocks on the box and the needed data on the
space provided

Kind of Rock: igneous Rocks

Description: Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the
surface

Kind of Rock:Sedimentary rock

Description: Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They
form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks often have distinctive layering
or bedding
Kind of Rock: Obsidian
Description: obsidian, igneous rock occurring as a natural glass formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava
from volcanoes. Obsidian is extremely rich in silica (about 65 to 80 percent), is low in water, and has a
chemical composition similar to rhyolite. Obsidian has a glassy lustre and is slightly harder than window glass

Kind of Rock: Talc schist

Description: Talc schist is a metamorphic rock dominated by the mineral talc. Many samples have a mottled
creamy white color, with pearly luster, and a slick & soapy feel. Talc schist, like soapstone and steatite and the
mineral talc itself, is very soft

Kind of Rock: Serpentine

Description: 1 : of or resembling a serpent (as in form or movement) 2 : subtly wily or tempting. 3a : winding or turning
one way and another a serpentine road. b : having a compound curve whose central curve is convex. serpentine.
