ROCKS
IS AN AGGREGATE OF ONE OR MORE MINERALS
WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN GLASS, ORGANIC
MATTER, AND MINERALOIDS.
, THE ROCK CYCLE
Rocks undergo processes that transform them from one type to
another (Igneous, Sedimentary, or Metamorphic)
The processes that these rocks undergo would dictate the type
they will transform to and is a factor of the environment where
the rocks are located.
, IGNEOUS ROCKS: Rocks Formed by Fire
Magma – a molten rock with associated solid materials (maybe
in the form of minerals) and gaseous phases ( e.g. sulfur dioxide
or water vapor)
– the first molten material that laid the foundation of the
solid planet we have now
Forming magma is actually easy if you have the right amount of
heat to melt solid rock (600-1100 degrees Celcius)
