WHAT TYPES OF ROCKS ARE FOUND IN SHORNCLIFFE
• WHAT TYPES OF ROCKS THAT ARE FOUND IN SHORNCLIFFE BEACH AREA. SHORNCLIFFE HAS A
LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROCKS. I HAVE FOUND 4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEDIMENTARY
ROCKS FROM SHORNCLIFFE WHICH ARE SHALE, SANDSTONE, BRECCIA AND CONGLOMERATE.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR EACH ROCK TYPE
• SHALE IS A FINE-GRAINED, CLASTIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK COMPOSED
OF MUD THAT IS A MIX OF FLAKES OF CLAY MINERAL AND TINY
FRAGMENTS OF OTHER MINERALS, ESPECIALLY QUARTZ AND CALCITE.
• SANDSTONE IS A CLASTIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK COMPOSED MAINLY
OF SAND SIZED MINERALS OR ROCK GRAINS.
• BRECCIA IS ROCK COMPOSED OF BROKEN FRAGMENTS OF MINERALS
OR ROCK CEMENTED TOGETHER BY A FINE GRAINED MATRIX, THAT
CAN BE EITHER SIMILAR TO OR DIFFERENT FRO THE COMPOSITION OF
THE FRAGMENTS.
• CONGLOMERATE IS A ROCK CONSISTING OF INDIVIDUAL CLASTS
WITHIN A FINER-GRAINED MATRIXS THAT HAVE BEEN CEMENTED
TOGETHER.
HOW ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROCKS FORMED
• HOW ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ROCKS FORMED. DIFFERENT
ROCKS ARE FORMED IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND FOR DIFFERENT
REASONS. SOME ROCKS ARE FORMED BY WEATHERING,
DEPOSITION, EROSION, LITHIFICATION AND COMPACTION.
• THE ROCK CYCLE IS A GROUP OF CHANGES. IGNEOUS ROCK
CAN CHANGE INTO SEDIMENTARY ROCK OR INTO METAMORPHIC
ROCK. SEDIMENTARY ROCK CAN CHANGE INTO METAMORPHIC
ROCK OR INTO IGNEOUS ROCK. METAMORPHIC ROCK CAN
CHANGE INTO IGNEOUS OR SEDIMENTARY ROCK.
