5.3: Igneous Rock Classification. Igneous rocks are simply classified on two characteristics: composition and texture. The composition of igneous rocks is based on the minerals present viewed either with the naked eye or microscopically. For the classification based on composition, we return to Bowen’s Reaction Series.

Summary. 3.1 The Rock Cycle. The three types of rocks are igneous: formed from magma; sedimentary: formed from fragments of other rocks or precipitation from solution; and metamorphic: formed when existing rocks are altered by heat, pressure, and/or chemical action. The rock cycle summarizes the processes that contribute to cycling of rock
Consulta
Igneous rocks can be divided into four categories based on their chemical composition: felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic. The diagram of Bowen’s reaction series ( Figure 7.7) shows that differences in chemical composition correspond to differences in the types of minerals within an igneous rock.

When volcanoes erupt explosively, vast amounts of lava, rock, ash, and gases are thrown into the atmosphere. The solid parts, called tephra, settle back to earth and cool into rocks with pyroclastic textures. Pyro,

As we discussed in Chapter 10, oceanic crust is formed at sea-floor spreading ridges from magma generated by decompression melting of hot upward-moving mantle rock (Figure 18.2.3 18.2. 3 ). About 10% of the mantle rock melts under these conditions, producing mafic magma. This magma oozes out onto the sea floor to form pillow basalts (Figure 18.

· Basalt and granite are the two most common forms of igneous rock. Basalt is dark and finely-grained, a mafic rock type rich in iron and magnesium, and can be either extrusive or intrusive. Granite is a light-colored plutonic rock rich in quartz and feldspar. This felsic rock is formed deep beneath the earth's crust and can only be

The slow cooling process allows crystals to grow large, giving the intrusive igneous rock a coarse-grained or phaneritic texture. The individual crystals in phaneritic texture are readily visible to the unaided eye. Figure 5.1.1 5.1. 1: Basalt is a classic fine-grained (aphanitic) extrusive igneous rock.

· Igneous Rock, one of 3 rock classes, the others being SEDIMENTARY and METAMORPHIC rocks. Igneous rocks are the product of the solidification of magma, which is molten rock generated by partial melting caused by heat and pressure in the deeper parts of the Earth's crust or in the upper mantle. These hot magmas have lower

Texture. Figure 4.1.1 4.1. 1: Granite is a classic coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock. The different colors are unique minerals. The black colors are likely two or three different minerals. If magma cools slowly, deep within the crust, the resulting rock is called intrusive or plutonic.

Igneous rocks are everywhere! One of the most common igneous rocks that make up the crust is granite. Many mountain ranges are made of granite. The spectacular features of Yosemite Valley, like Half Dome, are granitic. Volcanoes are made of igneous rocks, such as basalt. Igneous rocks are also found where you can't see them.

In the diagram above, the dike and the volcanic neck—despite the latter's name—are both intrusive features, whereas the fissure, lava flows, and volcanic cone are all extrusive. Because different types of igneous features form under varying conditions, each offers tantalizing clues to the conditions under which it solidified.

Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.

A pluton is an igneous intrusive rock body that has cooled in the crust. When magma cools within the Earth, the cooling proceeds slowly. Slow cooling allows time for large crystals to form, so intrusive igneous rocks have visible crystals.
