IGNEOUS ROCKS “Hot Stuff”
2
Igneous Sedimentary Metamorphic
3
Igneous Rocks: (def) rocks that are formed from the crystallization of magma or lava.
4
Magma: molten rock beneath the earth’s surface Lava: molten rock on the earth’s surface
5
I. Location of igneous rocks Compose 95% of earth’s crust.
6
II. Texture and Cooling Rates A. Texture (?):
7
II. Texture and Cooling Rates A. Texture (?): refers to the SIZE of the individual minerals.
8
II. Texture and Cooling Rates A.Texture (?): refers to the SIZE of the individual minerals. B.Cooling rates: Inside vs. on the surface
10
II. Texture and Cooling Rates A.Texture (?): refers to the SIZE of the individual minerals. B.Cooling rates: Inside vs. on the surface C. Extrusive (Volcanic) Rocks: cool rapidly at the surface.

II. Texture and Cooling Rates A.Texture (?): refers to the SIZE of the individual minerals. B.Cooling rates: Inside vs. on the surface C. Extrusive (Volcanic) Rocks: cool rapidly at the surface. D. Intrusive (Plutonic) Rocks: cool slowly inside the earth.
12
III. Types of Textures
13
A.Phaneritic “coarse-grained”
14
III. Types of Textures A.Phaneritic “coarse-grained” B. Aphanitic “fine grained”
15
III. Types of Textures A.Phaneritic “coarse-grained” B. Aphanitic “fine grained” AT WHAT RATE DID THEY COOL?
16
III. Types of Textures A.Phaneritic “coarse-grained” B. Aphanitic “fine grained” C. Porphyritic “coarse and fine” Phenocrysts and matrix
17
III. Types of Textures C. Porphyritic “coarse and fine” Matrix Phenocrysts
18
III. Types of Textures D. Others (pyroclastic, glassy, cellular)

IV. Composition A. “New” Magma
20
IV. Composition A.“New” Magma * most originate as basaltic in composition
21
IV. Composition A.“New” Magma * most originate as basaltic * rich in elements Fe, Ca, Mg
22
IV. Composition A.“New” Magma * most originate as basaltic * rich in elements Fe, Ca, Mg * as magma cooling occurs, minerals containing these elements are formed.
23
IV. Composition A.“New” Magma * most originate as basaltic * rich in elements Fe, Ca, Mg * as magma cooling occurs, minerals containing these elements are formed. * remaining magma is granitic, rich in elements Si, Al, K
24
IV. Composition A.“New” Magma * most originate as basaltic * rich in elements Fe, Ca, Mg * as magma cooling occurs, minerals containing these elements are formed. * remaining magma is granitic, rich in elements Si, Al, K * Temperatures: --Basalt Magmas: HOT 1100 C --Granitic Magmas: (COOLER) 800 C
