Liquid (molten) rocks

Liquid (molten) rocks

Lava – On the Earth’s surface (Extrusive)

Magma – Beneath the Earth’s surface (Intrusive)

Cooling Rates Animation

Solidification – the change from a liquid to a solid

Crystallization – molten magma or lava cools and form solid rocks composed of intergrown mineral crystals

Intrusive Igneous Rocks:

Intrusive Igneous Rocks:

• forms underground• magma never reaches the surface• cools slowly• form large crystals

• medium to coarse grained texture• Get exposed at the surface only when rock is uplifted and exposed

Extrusive Igneous Rocks:

Extrusive Igneous Rocks:

• Forms on the surface

• Lava comes out of a volcano• cools rapidly• forms small crystals

• glassy or fine-grained

• Covers the surface as lava flows or pyroclastic debris

As cooling time increases, crystal size increases.

They are classified according to their chemical composition and texture

Classification of Igneous Rocks:

The % of different minerals affect the color of the rock

More silica the lighter the rock, less silica the darker

More Iron the darker the rock, less Iron the lighter

Classify the following rocks as either:Extrusive or Intrusive

Mafic or Felsic

Classify the following rocks as either:Extrusive or Intrusive

Mafic or Felsic

Intrusive + Mafic = Gabbro Extrusive + Mafic = Basalt

Intrusive + Felsic = Intrusive + Felsic = GraniteGranite

Extrusive + Felsic = Extrusive + Felsic = RhyoliteRhyolite

Vesicles (Vesicular) Vesicles (Vesicular)

• As lava rises and cools to form extrusive igneous rock,

• Pressure drops which causes the gases that are in the lava to expand.

• These gases form vesicles (cavities) which are the remains of gas bubbles.

• Intrusive rocks rarely contain vesicles because they are formed at depth where high pressure stops the gases from expanding.

Crystallization:Crystallization:Crystal Size Animation

• Magma is a mixture of different substances. They all have different melting points.• So as magma cools, some substances will form crystals before other substances. They have a head start in growth and tend to be bigger.•If the magma already has crystals present in it and then is cooled rapidly then you will see large crystals embedded in finer-grained material.

This is called a porphyritic texture
