Igneous Rocks An igneous rock

Extrusive vs. Intrusive Igneous Rocks Intrusive (plutonic) rock… Intrusive rocks are igneous rocks that have cooled slowly over time. Batholiths, laccoliths, dikes and sills are examples of igneous intrusions. Extrusive (volcanic) rock is one that forms from the cooling of lava (liquid rock) found at Earth’s surface. Extrusive rocks… Intrusions Extrusions

Formation of Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks… Most igneous rocks… As an igneous rock cools into a solid form, different minerals form crystals that are inter-grown with other mineral crystals. This is known as crystallization. Inter-grown crystals of several minerals formed by crystallization.

Formation of Igneous Rocks – Crystal Size and Texture The texture of an igneous rocks and the type of crystals it exhibits depends on the environment in which it had formed. GRANITEGABBROGranite and Gabbro are both examples of coarse-textured igneous rocks. Both rocks have very large crystals that are easy to see. The development… Coarse-grained igneous rocks cooled deep within the lithospshere (intrusions) where the temperature and pressure are higher than that of Earth’s surface.

Formation of Igneous Rocks – Crystal Size and Texture The development… Fine-grained, igneous rocks… Some fine-grained, igneous rocks have vesicles – large air pockets that formed within the rock when it is cooled quickly. Sometimes igneous rocks cool so quickly that mineral crystals do not have time to form. Instead igneous rocks form a non-crystalline solid known as glass. RHYOLITEBASALT OBSIDIAN Rhyolite and Basalt are both examples of fine-textured igneous rocks. Both rocks have very small crystals that can only be seen through magnification. vesicles glassy texture
