IDEA PAGE 2

The Rock Cycle demonstrates that rocks are always changing due to erosion pressure and extreme heat

Everyone uses rocks and minerals Rocks and minerals are part of our everyday life

Minerals are the building blocks in rocks Rocks are formed both inside and outside volcanoes

V SCIENCE - California State Standards ndash Grade 4 Earth Science

40 The properties of rocks and minerals reflect the processes that formed them As a basis for understanding this concept

a Students know how to differentiate among igneous sedimentary and

metamorphic rocks by referring to their properties and methods of formation (the rock cycle)

b Students know how to identify common rock-forming minerals (including quartz calcite feldspar mica and hornblende) and ore minerals by using a table of diagnostic properties

50 Waves wind water and ice shape and reshape Earths land surface As a basis for understanding this concept

a Students know some changes in the earth are due to slow processes

such as erosion and some changes are due to rapid processes such as

landslides volcanic eruptions and earthquakes b Students know natural processes including freezing and thawing

and the growth of roots cause rocks to break down into smaller pieces

c Students know moving water erodes landforms reshaping the land by

taking it away from some places and depositing it as pebbles sand silt and mud in other places (weathering transport and deposition)

Investigation and Experimentation 60 Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and

conducting careful investigations As a basis for understanding this

concept and addressing the content in the other three strands students should develop their own questions and perform investigations

IDEA PAGE 3

a Differentiate observation from inference (interpretation) and know

scientists explanations come partly from what they observe and partly from how they interpret their observations

c Formulate and justify predictions based on cause-and-effect relationships

f Follow a set of written instructions for a scientific investigation

VI HISTORYSOCIAL SCIENCE - California State Standards ndash Grade 4 Concepts California geography

41 Students demonstrate an understanding of the physical and human

geographic features that define places and regions in California 3 Identify the state capital and describe the various regions

of California including how their characteristics and physical environments (eg water landforms vegetation climate) affect human activity

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

IDEA PAGE 2

The Rock Cycle demonstrates that rocks are always changing due to erosion pressure and extreme heat

Everyone uses rocks and minerals Rocks and minerals are part of our everyday life

Minerals are the building blocks in rocks Rocks are formed both inside and outside volcanoes

V SCIENCE - California State Standards ndash Grade 4 Earth Science

40 The properties of rocks and minerals reflect the processes that formed them As a basis for understanding this concept

a Students know how to differentiate among igneous sedimentary and

metamorphic rocks by referring to their properties and methods of formation (the rock cycle)

b Students know how to identify common rock-forming minerals (including quartz calcite feldspar mica and hornblende) and ore minerals by using a table of diagnostic properties

50 Waves wind water and ice shape and reshape Earths land surface As a basis for understanding this concept

a Students know some changes in the earth are due to slow processes

such as erosion and some changes are due to rapid processes such as

landslides volcanic eruptions and earthquakes b Students know natural processes including freezing and thawing

and the growth of roots cause rocks to break down into smaller pieces

c Students know moving water erodes landforms reshaping the land by

taking it away from some places and depositing it as pebbles sand silt and mud in other places (weathering transport and deposition)

Investigation and Experimentation 60 Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and

conducting careful investigations As a basis for understanding this

concept and addressing the content in the other three strands students should develop their own questions and perform investigations

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

The Earthrsquos Crust By My HouseHere are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my house

Here are the sedimentary rocks that are weathered and worndeposited and layered by wind water and ice over great periods of time

houseGneiss Schist Slate

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the intrusive (plutonic) igneous rocks

That are formed when magma forces its way or intrudes into existing rockThat stand exposed when the earthrsquos surface around them erodes away

my houseGranite Quartz Rhyolite

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the extrusive (volcanic) igneous rocks

that are part of ocean floors and mountain rangesThat are blown out of volcanoes as pyroclasts and smaller lapilliThat extrude from the earthrsquos surface through vents and fissures

That were pahoehoe-ropy lava that cools slow on top still molten and broiling beneathThat were Aa lava that cools quickly into jagged chunks

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

The Earthrsquos Crust By My HouseHere are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my house

Here are the sedimentary rocks that are weathered and worndeposited and layered by wind water and ice over great periods of time

That are cemented with small pebbles sand silt and mineralsThat were once on the bottom of vast oceans

and are now on the top of grand desert mesasHere are the sedimentary rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my

houseLimestone Sandstone Tufa

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the metamorphic rocks once igneous sedimentary

now changed beyond recognition by intense heat and pressureThat are heated during contact metamorphism

That are pressurized by dynamic metamorphismOr both heated and pressurized during regional metamorphism

houseGneiss Schist Slate

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the intrusive (plutonic) igneous rocks

That are formed when magma forces its way or intrudes into existing rockThat stand exposed when the earthrsquos surface around them erodes away

That are formed deep in the Earthrsquos laccoliths and batholithsHere are the intrusive igneous rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by

my houseGranite Quartz Rhyolite

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the extrusive (volcanic) igneous rocks

that are part of ocean floors and mountain rangesThat are blown out of volcanoes as pyroclasts and smaller lapilliThat extrude from the earthrsquos surface through vents and fissures

That were pahoehoe-ropy lava that cools slow on top still molten and broiling beneathThat were Aa lava that cools quickly into jagged chunks

That were billowing pillow lava formed on sandy seabedsHere are the extrusive igneous rocks that are formed in the Earthrsquos crust by

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

The Earthrsquos Crust By My HouseHere are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my house

Here are the sedimentary rocks that are weathered and worndeposited and layered by wind water and ice over great periods of time

That are cemented with small pebbles sand silt and mineralsThat were once on the bottom of vast oceans

and are now on the top of grand desert mesasHere are the sedimentary rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my

houseLimestone Sandstone Tufa

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the metamorphic rocks once igneous sedimentary

now changed beyond recognition by intense heat and pressureThat are heated during contact metamorphism

That are pressurized by dynamic metamorphismOr both heated and pressurized during regional metamorphism

As in the formation of gargantuan mountain rangesHere are the metamorphic rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my

houseGneiss Schist Slate

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the intrusive (plutonic) igneous rocks

That are formed when magma forces its way or intrudes into existing rockThat stand exposed when the earthrsquos surface around them erodes away

That are formed deep in the Earthrsquos laccoliths and batholithsHere are the intrusive igneous rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by

my houseGranite Quartz Rhyolite

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the extrusive (volcanic) igneous rocks

that are part of ocean floors and mountain rangesThat are blown out of volcanoes as pyroclasts and smaller lapilliThat extrude from the earthrsquos surface through vents and fissures

That were pahoehoe-ropy lava that cools slow on top still molten and broiling beneathThat were Aa lava that cools quickly into jagged chunks

That were billowing pillow lava formed on sandy seabedsHere are the extrusive igneous rocks that are formed in the Earthrsquos crust by

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Here are the rocks that are found in the Earthrsquos crust by my houseHere are the extrusive (volcanic) igneous rocks

that are part of ocean floors and mountain rangesThat are blown out of volcanoes as pyroclasts and smaller lapilliThat extrude from the earthrsquos surface through vents and fissures

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Big Book Text The Important Book of Rocks and Minerals

Pg 1 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Rocks are everywhere All rocks are made up of microscopic particles called minerals Minerals make special shapes called crystals In this book wersquoll learn about different types of rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 1)

Oxygen silicon and aluminum combine to make the mineral feldspar

Other minerals are made up of only one type of element like gold

Quartz is the most common mineral in the Earthrsquos crust

Minerals line up neatly to make crystals like eggs in a carton

Pg 2 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Extrusive Igneous rocks are ldquolava rocksrdquo That means that they are formed when hot magma is pushed through a hole in the earth called a volcano

After the magma comes out it is called lava When the molten lava contacts the colder air it starts to cool rapidly As it cools it becomes harder and harder until it finally is a rock Itrsquos like when yoursquore making Jell-o ndash when it comes off the stove itrsquos a hot liquid

but when you put it in the refrigerator it cools and becomes more like a solid

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 4 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 2)

Extrusive Igneous rocks can found around volcanoes and near mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California

Pg 3 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Intrusive Igneous rocks are also made from magma but they cool and harden below the Earthrsquos crust

These rocks cool slowly so they have large crystals Because Intrusive Igneous rocks are formed deep under the Earthrsquos crust we

canrsquot see them until they are pushed above the surface

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Fine-Grained Sedimentary rocks are made from layers of sediment that pile up Sediments are made up of plant and animal remains and minerals As layers are piled on top of each other their weight slowly presses them closer

and closer together until they are compressed into a solid rock Sedimentary rocks are softer than other rocks and they break easily

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 4)

Sedimentary rocks are found in areas that were once covered with water

The Mojave Desert in southern California were covered by water It is a great place to find sedimentary tocks

Pg 5 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 5)

Examples of Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are found in the Sierra Nevada foothills and along the Central coast of California Pg 6 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

The last major rock classification is Metamorphic Metamorphic means ldquochangerdquo High heat pressure and chemical reactions change sedimentary igneous and

metamorphic rocks into new rocks These rocks are very hard

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Coarse-Grained Sedimentary rocks are also made up of layers If you look closely you can usually see minerals Since the sediments used to form them are larger they are found near mouths

of rivers where the rapidly flowing water has the power to carry them downstream

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Pg 7 ndash

The important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

Now you now about the major types of rocks Look and see all the rocks around you and how they are used Remember you donrsquot have to look on the ground in mountains or near rivers You have all of the knowledge you need to begin your own search for rocks

But the important thing about rocks and minerals is that they reflect the processes that form them

(bolded wording for captions under additional pictures for pg 7)

Obsidian was used by Native Americans in California to make arrowheads knives and other cutting tools

Hard rocks like marble and granite are so strong that they are used for many buildings and statues

Soft rocks like clay are used to make bricks pots and roof tiles

Coal is a sedimentary rock that can burns

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1)

Intrusive Igneous rocks are a classification of volcanic rocks that form deep inside the earth when molten magma cools and hardens The word igneous comes from ignis the Latin word meaning ldquofirerdquo These rocks only appear at the Earthrsquos surface when the rocks above them have eroded away

The most common example of this rock is granite which occurs in a variety of colors Quartz and gabbro are also samples of Intrusive Igneous rock

Their formation results when the internal temperature of the Earth is so high that it melts rock into magma This magma cools slowly and forms intrusive igneous rocks deep within the earthrsquos crust

These rocks cooled very slowly when they formed making them very hard Properties that distinguish these rocks are large coarse-grained crystals that can be seen with just your eye

Expert Groups ndashIntrusive Igneous rocks (1) (page 2)

Intrusive igneous rocks are found in many locations in California The Sierra Nevada and San Bernandino Mountain Ranges are examples of where uplifting and weathering have exposed large sections of this type of rock

These rocks have some interesting uses Granite is used in construction because of its strength and resistance to weathering and erosion Quartz is used to make watches

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2)

Fine-grained sedimentary rocks are categorized a classification of rock that forms on the Earthrsquos surface Layers of sediment compress and harden into rock The word sedimentary comes from sedi the Latin word meaning ldquositrdquo

Limestone shale and clay are examples of fine-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when fragments of minerals plants and animal remains are deposited into water They are compressed slowly over time They form layers called strata The fragments are cemented together by dissolved chemicals and compacted by the weight of layers and water

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its softness and microscopic crystals These rocks break apart into thin layers

Expert Groups ndashFine-grained sedimentary rocks (2) (page 2)

These rocks are located at the bottom of oceans lakes and rivers from both past and present Because the desert regions of California were once an ocean fine-grained sedimentary rocks can now be found in these areas

Isnrsquot it interesting that fine-grained sedimentary rocks are used to make sidewalk chalk and bricks

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are also called clastic rocks The word clastic comes from klastos the Greek word meaning ldquobrokenrdquo This type of rock forms in layers when broken or weathered rock fragments mix together with clay or silica The clay acts as a natural cement

Placer gravel sandstone and conglomerate are examples of coarse-grained sedimentary rocks

Their formation results when rocks are broken into fragments by weather or erosion and transported by wind water or ice Minerals dissolved in the water and ice seep into spaces between the fragments As the water evaporates the minerals left behind bind or cement the larger fragments together to form a new rock

Properties that distinguish these rocks are its chemical makeup and the size of its crystals Larger particles are at the bottom and smaller particles are at the top of the rock Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks have crystals that can be seen without a microscope

Expert Groups ndashCoarse-grained sedimentary rocks (3) (page 2)

Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are located at the mouth of rivers streams and glaciers The Sierra Nevada foothills Central Coast and Desert regions of California were all formed by water Coarse-grained sedimentary rocks can be located in these regions

It is an interesting fact that many coarse-grained sedimentary rocks are used in landscaping Most of the gold in the California Gold Rush was found in Placer Gravel

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4)

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that form by changing from one rock type into another as a result of heat tremendous pressure and chemical reactions The word metamorphic comes from meta the Greek word meaning ldquochangerdquo and morphic the Greek word for ldquoshaperdquo When these rocks are forming the crystals may change size or shape or even separate into layers

Marble is an example of metamorphic rock Marble is formed from limestone Gneiss is formed from granite

Its formation results when new rocks are created from existing rocks that undergo a change in composition Igneous sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks are slowly changed by heat pressure or chemical action

One property that distinguishes metamorphic rocks is its texture They are grouped according to their textures as banded and nonbanded Metamorphic rocks are hard resistant to erosion and their crystals are hard to see

Expert Groups ndashMetamorphic Rocks (4) (page 2)

Metamorphic rocks are located in our California mountain ranges where volcanic activity and pressure from uplifting have been major factors in creating these landforms

It is interesting that marble is often used to create statues Metamorphic rocks also get used in construction
