1 I. Rock Types II. Cooling & Crystallization III. Composition IV. Rock Formations

2 A. Intrusive Rocks – Form when magma or molten rock beneath Earth’s surface cools & crystalizes B. Extrusive Rocks – Form when lava on Earth’s surface cools and crystalizes

3 GRANITE: Intrusive Rock

6 Extrusive Ejected Material Solidifies in the air

8 A. Intrusive Igneous Rock – Cools slowly allowing for large crystal formation (coarse grained). B. Extrusive Igneous Rock – Cools quickly and does not allow time for crystallization (fine grained)

11 A. Mafic – Contains many dark colored minerals. High non- silicate and low silicate compositions B. Felsic – Contains many light colored minerals. High silicate composition.
