What is rock?
A rock is naturally occurring solid
aggregate of one or more minerals.

of
rocks.
PETROLOGY- classify METAMORPHIC
rocks based on how
are formed.
types of rocks
IGNEOUS ROCK
formed from hardening and
crystallization of magma or
molten material that originates
deep within the earth.
B. INTRUSIVE/PLUTONIC ROCK
A. EXTRUSIVE/VOLCANIC ROCK it cools slowly beneath the
forms when magma makes its Earth surface are created by
way to Earth's surface as lava magma. The intrusive igneous
and cools. The crystal are ver rocks have very large
small (fine grained) since the crystals (coarse grained)
cooling process is so fast.

ROCKS
formed from formed when rocks are formed from
accumulation of dissolved minerals the acumulation of
clasts: little pieces precipitate from a animal debris
of broken rocks and solution
shells.

Sedimentary
rocks
 CLASSIFICATION
a. TEXTURE- refers to the size
arrangement and grains
within the rock.
b. FOLIATION- any planar
arrangement of mineral
grains or structural features
rock

FOLIATED- appeared
contact banded or layered,
regional mainly by heat due to contains crystals.

contact with magma NON FOLIATED- made up

due to changes in pressure
of only few minerals
and temperature over large
region of the crust
What is the importance
of rocks?
They help us to develop new technologies and are used in our everyday lives. Our use of rocks
and minerals includes as building material, cosmetics, cars, roads, and appliances. In order
maintain a healthy lifestyle and strengthen the body, humans need to consume minerals daily.
Get to know
rock cycle
The rock cycle is a web of
processes that outlines how
each of the three major rock
types form and break down
based on the different
applications of heat and
pressure over time.
 FUN FACT!
did you know that Alexandrite is considered one of
the Rarest Minerals?
