Key Concept Igneous rocks are classified according to their origin, texture, and mineral composition.

Igneous rock is rock that forms from magma or lava.

Igneous rock may form on or below Earth’s surface. Where igneous rock forms is its origin.

Extrusive rock is igneous rock that forms on Earth’s surface, when lava cools.

Lava cools quickly, forming small crystals. As a result, extrusive rock has a smooth texture. The most common extrusive rock is basalt.

Intrusive rock is igneous rock that forms below Earth’s surface, when magma cools.

Magma cools slowly, forming big crystals. As a result, intrusive rock has a rough texture. The most common intrusive rock is granite.

At an elevation of 14,505 ft., Mt. Whitney reaches the highest peak in the conterminous United States, and like much of the Sierra Nevada, it consists of Cretaceous granodiorite, a rock intermediate in composition between granite and diorite.

Igneous rocks differ in how much silica they contain. Silica is a material formed from oxygen and silicon.

From left to right, these rocks are arranged in order of decreasing silica content: granite, diorite, and gabbro.

Low-silica rocks, such as basalt, are dark-colored rocks. High-silica rocks, such as granite, are light-colored rocks.

Why do intrusive rocks have a rough texture? a. Intrusive rocks have big crystals. b. Intrusive rocks form quickly. c. Intrusive rocks form from lava.

If an igneous rock is light- colored it probably contains a lot of ? silica

Key Concept: People throughout history have used igneous rock for tools and building materials.

Igneous rocks have several uses. Examples of useful igneous rocks are granite, pumice, and obsidian.

Granite is very hard and dense. Granite has long been used for buildings and bridges. Today, granite is also used for curbstones and kitchen counters.

Pumice is very rough. Pumice is used for cleaning and polishing.

Obsidian is sharp and smooth like glass. Obsidian was used by ancient native Americans to make knives and other sharp tools.
