MINERALS AND ROCKS COMPOSITION, ORIGIN AND IDENTIFICATION COPOYRIGHT 2002, TERRY WRIGHT
2
MINERALS SOLID INORGANIC NATURALLY OCCURRING CONSTANT PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND CHEMICAL CHEMICAL COMPOSITION SET INTERNAL STRUC TURE OF ATOMS
3
CHEMISTRY ATOMS –NEUTRONS –PROTONS –ELECTRONS ATOMS HAVE SNUG FIT ATOMS HAVE NEUTRAL CHARGE ATOMS HAVE BONDING –IONIC –COVALENT –METALLIC TO FORM MINERALS
4
CRYSTAL CHEMISTRY POPULARITY LIST: Si, O, Al, Fe, Mg, K,Na, Ca Si and O form basic silica tetrahedron and has snug fit and covalent bonding SiO4 does not have 0 net charge, but Oxygen sharing and other ions give 0 net charge Different arrangements result in different Silicate minerals.
5
MINERAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES LUSTER COLOR TRUE/STREAK(FOR METALLIC MINERALS) HARDNESS CLEAVAGE/FRACTURE DENSITY REACTION TO ACID MAGNETISM TASTE
6
VARIETY OF IGNEOUS ROCKS BOWENS REACTION SERIES- SEQUENCE OF CRYSTALLIZATION DIFFERENTIATION –GRAVITY SETTLING –MAGMA MIXING
7
VISCOSITY OF MAGMA SILICA CONTENT INCREASE TEMPERATURE DECREASE GAS CONTENT INCREASES VISCOSITY
8
VOLCANIC IGNEOUS ROCKS
9
QUIET ERUPTIONS: LAVA FLOWS, FINE GRAINED, LOW VISCOSITY, QUIET ERUPTIONS, LOW SILICA, HIGH TEMPERATURE, GAS. SHIELD VOLCANOES, MELTING IN MANTLE
10
EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS: PYROCLASTIC ROCKS, HIGH VISCOSITY HIGH SILICA, FRAGMENTAL, LOW TEMPERATURE, GAS, STRATO- VOLCANOS, CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES-MELTING IN SUBDUCTION ZONE
11
PLUTONIC ROCKS COOLED SLOWLY DEEP BENEATH THE SURFACE COARSE GRAINED, CRYSTALLINE DIKES, SILLS, BATHOLITHS GRANITE, DIORITE, GABBRO, PERIDOTITE
12
SEDIMENTARY ROCKS CLASTIC-BROKEN ORIGIN CHEMICAL/BIOCHEMICAL ORIGIN HISTORY OF SEDIMENTARY ROCKS
13
METAMORPHIC ROCKS RECRYSTALLIZATION FOLIATION VS NON-FOLIATION REGIONAL METAMORPHISM CONTACT METAMORPHISM HYDROTHERMAL METAMORPHISM FAULT METAMORPHISM
