rock cycle
(latin for fire), primary rocks
–formed directly from cooling molten magma
igneous rock
formed from magma (under surface
intrusive
formed on surface from lava
extrusive
course-grained intrusive igneous rock – contains minerals quartz, potassium, and sodium
granite
secondary rocks
–formed from deposition and compression of rock and mineral fragments
sedimentary rocks
sedimentary rock composed of calcite
limestone
medium grained sedimentary from sand cementation
sandstone
Fine grained sedimentary formed from silt and clay cementation
shale
in sedimentary rock
fossil fuels
secondary rock,
- -from transformation by heat and/or pressure of existing rocks
- –different temperature and pressure=different rocks
metamorphic rock
parent rock=limestone — interlocking calcite crystals
marble
