hello grade 11 students
good day how are you i hope you are fine
you are still in earth and life sciences
intended for senior high school students
grade 11 to be specific
our next lesson i lessonate
changes in mineral components and
textures of
rocks or metamorphism
in this module the primary goal is to
enable you
dear learners to describe the changes in
mineral components
and texture of rocks due to changes
in pressure and temperature or
metamorphism
specifically this module will help you
to
identify rock samples based on the
effects of
changes on temperature and pressure and
analyze through a diagram on how
temperature and pressure
affect the mineral components and
texture of rocks
this module demonstrates an
understanding on how
rocks are formed and transformed based
on the content and textures
it also describes the changes in mineral
components
and texture of rocks due to changes
in pressure and temperature known as
metamorphism let us review our previous
lessons
about 4.6 billion years ago a planet
earth was formed
it is a round ball of rock earth
is the only planet with living creatures
the earth has four layers inner core
outer core mantle and crust
the inner core is at the center of the
earth
which is made of iron it is very hot
and keeps the outer core as liquid
mantel is made up of thick rock
and the crust is a thin surface that
consists of the lightest wrap
rock is a solid mass mostly a mixture of
minerals the lightest rocks form the
continents
rocks are natural resources that help us
in many ways it can help us in making
pencils
jewelry tables and many more
you enumerate rocks uses we can build
houses made of rock right how about
walls and fireplace with rocks
how will you describe rocks rocks are
very strong
right but they were away over time
wind and water wind them down and that
makes
soil
there are three types of rocks these are
ignos
sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
they are named after how they are formed
under the ground there is a hot molten
rock
when rocks are heated and reaches its
melting point
it forms magma magma
comes out from volcanoes and forms
rock above the surface this
magma can also cool under the surface
it makes rock under the ground
the rocks formed from magma are called
igneous rocks
when rocks are worn these pieces of
rocks
minerals and soil are moved by wind and
water
it can be carried to any other places
and from there
it will be piled up together in places
just like
under the lakes and oceans they will be
pressed together
over time the parts that make
them are called sediments and these
are called sedimentary rocks
other rocks change from one time to
another
and is called metamorphic rocks
metamorphic means to change this
rocks are often formed from the
mountains
the pressure and heat changes these
rocks
basalt can be changed by pressure and
heat can turn
into a grand light limestone can be
changed into marble
do you know any object that is made up
of marble
have you seen the statue of liberty
that is made of marble
building can also be made of marble
like the greek temples
the original rock can either be
sedimentary
ignus or even other metamorphic rock
any kind of rocks can change into a new
rock
this is what we call metamorphism
metamorphism is the change that takes
place
within a body of rock as a result of it
being subjected to conditions that are
different from those
in which it is formed it is from the
greek word
meta means change and morphe means
form
from extreme heat and pressure the
original rock is changed
into a completely new rock this
new rock is called metamorphic rock
the word metamorphic is a gricoid which
means
to change form what causes rock
metamorphism
there are two types of rock metamorphism
contact metamorphism is caused by an
increase in heat and regional
metamorphism
which is caused by pressure let us
discuss
these two types of metamorphism one by
one
contact metamorphism due to intense heat
existing rocks buried deeper and deeper
under the surface of the earth are in
contact with heat provided by lava or
magma
when temperature rises existing rock
will be burned or metamorphosed
by the heat of magma burning makes the
rocks
metamorphosed into a new metamorphic
rock
for example as heat is produced
some sedimentary rocks turn into
metamorphic rocks
like limestone which is sedimentary rock
to marble a metamorphic rock
quite stucquizite shale to horn fells
regional metamorphism it covers a much
larger area imagine a plate boundary
a fault or crack if it's coming together
in the middle of the plate pressure
increases
regional metamorphism happens when these
rocks are buried
deep down in the crust this is commonly
associated
with convergent plate boundaries and the
formation of mountain ranges
increase in pressure pressure can cause
rock in the middle to metamorphose
among the three types of rock
metamorphic rock
is the highest most of these rocks are
found in the mountainous regions
metamorphic rocks are categorized into
foliates and non-foliates
foliate is a latin word meaning sheets
it is composed of large amounts of micas
and chlorides these are minerals
that have a distinct cleavage
nice and ceased are examples of foliated
rocks
that are produced by regional
metamorphism
metamorphism happens on rocks for
example
a rock shale if added with heat and
pressure
can turn into a slate then this
slate when added with heat and pressure
it will become
p light when this p light is added with
more heat
and pressure it will becomes cyst
and when ceased is added even more
it will become metamorphic rock nice
gneiss has more bands of minerals that
is the result of intense pressure
if this nice will be added with more
heat and pressure
it will melt into magma and lava then
it will become an igneous rock
non-foliates have no cleavage at all
examples of non-foliates are quirizide
and marble
it is made up of sandstone that has been
metamorphosed marble is
metamorphosed limestone
let's go back to our previous lesson the
rock cycle
is important to understand the changes
that happen
in rocks let's watch the song
okay now let's start with minerals solid
naturally occurring substances made from
elements singles or combos of many
inorganic means they don't come from
plants or animals
always a fixed chemical structure
examples or codes of gold
all right now from minerals let's talk
about what a rock is
composed of many different compounds
structures not consistent
there are major types of rocks in total
there are three igneous metamorphic
and sedimentary first off it's igneous
when a volcano erupts moves magma and
then it cools down hardens within the
earth's crust
going to the metamorphic form by massive
heat or pressure sometimes they're found
by the fault lines where plates push
against each other
sedimentary rocks from sediment
combining
like a river picking up some deposit
pieces
is
[Music]
forming a few different ways and
transition to the three rock dives
continuous cycle of chains most rockstar
as igneous
volcano magma hardened wind and water
big rock into small pieces two piles of
sediment this sediment builds up
sedimentary rock it becomes
the rock is covered up and ends up
inside the earth's crust
with heat and pressurizing rock goes
through metamorphosis
becomes a metamorphic rock then cycle
starts over again
one thing to know about this cycle is
the orders not specific
rocks can change your different types
based on a different environment ciao
i really hope that song helps you at the
end
did you sing along well
it's up to you
that ends our lesson today
congratulations and thank you again for
listening
that is another topic about
rocks thank you for being here
please keep safe by staying at home good
luck
and do the activities in your module
don't go any further just focus on this
topic thank you
