A Genealogy of Rock Music Today‚ the term Rock Music brings about images of wild hotel parties‚ pyrotechnics‚ drugs‚ plane crashes and iconic frontmen. However‚ in order to form a real understanding of how rock music came to be the legendary style that it is today‚ we must understand its origins. Rock music is rooted deep in America’s most trivial times- in the songs of African American slaves- from the Mississippi Delta right up to the Mason-Dixon line‚ it is a simple musical styling that is

The Rock Cycle & Classification of Rocks The rock cycle is the formation‚ breakdown and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary‚ igneous‚ and metamorphic processes. The rock cycle is an illustration that is used to describe how the three rock types are related and how Earth processes change a rock from one type to another over time. Each group contains a collection of rock types that differ from each other on the basis of the size‚ shape and arrangement of mineral grains. Due to the driving

more than thirteen centuries‚ the Dome of the Rock remains one of the world’s most beautiful and enduring architectural treasures. Adorned with its magnificent gold dome and elaborate quranic inscriptions‚ the structure intimately represents the world’s second largest religion in a city historically associated with the three Semitic faiths. Representation‚ however‚ is not the only effect of this site. Despite its intended purpose‚ the Dome of the Rock inherently stands as the focal center of a millennium-old

Formation of Rocks The three main ways rocks are formed: • Sedimentary rocks are formed through the gradual accumulation of sediment: for example‚ sand on a beach or mud on a river bed. As the sediment is buried it is compacted as more and more material is deposited on top. Eventually the sediment will become so dense that it is essentially rock. This process is known as lithification. • Igneous rocks are rocks which have crystallized from a melt or magma. The melt is made up of various components

About the Igneous rocks: The Igneous rocks are the oldest type of rocks among all. The word "Igneous" comes from a Greek word which means fire. In the deepest part of the Earth‚ the minerals are found in a liquid form‚ which is known as magma. When the magma pushes towards the surface of the Earth‚ it starts to get cool and converts into the solid Igneous rocks. The formation of Igneous Rocks: The Igneous rocks are known as the fire rocks and these are generally formed underground or above the

Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks originate from deep within the Earth’s crust. Igneous rocks (from the Greek word for fire) are formed when magma crystallizes and solidifies. An increase in temperature‚ a change in the composition‚ or decrease in the pressure can cause melting of these rocks in the mantle which form igneous rocks. The melt begins deep below the surface of the Earth close to active plate boundaries. As the temperate increases the rocks rise toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided

A joint is defined as a fracture in a rock between the sides of which there is no observable relative movement. They are present is most consolidated rocks of igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary origin. Joints may form as a result of either diastrophism or contraction. Description: (i) A series of parallel joints is called a ’joint set’. (ii) Two or more joint sets intersecting each other produce a ’joint system’. (iii) Two sets of joints nearly at right angles to one another‚ produced by the

Rocks are classified in order to communicate information about them. All classifications of limestones are arbitrary and they frequently overlap or do not fit ones particular needs. Since binocular microscopes or hand lenses are the tools that are commonly available to the explorationist‚ a practical classification should be based on descriptions using them. When these instruments are used‚ it is usually possible to identify the individual grains forming the rock. Thus most classifications require

Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that is inspired or influenced by psychedelic culture and attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs. It often uses new recording techniques and effects and draws on non-Western sources such as the ragas and drones of Indian music. It was pioneered by musicians including The Beatles‚ The Byrds‚ and The Yardbirds‚ emerging as a genre during the mid-1960s among folk rock and blues rock bands in the United Kingdom and
