Geology 121 Course Notes Add Section Title Add section detail briefings Intrusive rocks Porphyry Pyroclasts Extrusive rocks Classification of Igneous Rocks Intrusive rocks Porphyry Pyroclasts. Hot rocks/Fire Rocks. Igneous Rock . Igneous rocks form . when molten rock cools and solidifies. . Molten rock is called magma when it is below the Earth’s surface and lava when it is above.. when molten rock cools and solidifies. ROCKS AND THE ROCK CYCLE. INTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCK. Formed under the surface of the earth. Formed from cooling magma. Cools slowly. Forms medium mineral grains. Granite is a light-colored . igneous rock. By Mr. Krall. What is a Rock?. A . rock. is a mixture of minerals.. Rocks form and reform through the . rock cycle. . . Lava/Magma. THE ROCK CYCLE. Igneous Rock. Igneous . (. ig. -nee-us) . rock. forms when molten rock cools and solidifies.. Igneous. rocks form from the solidification or crystallization of minerals in molten material.. If the rock form below the Earth’s surface it is considered . magma. Molten rock that hardens on the Earth’s surface is called . Rocks that crystallized directly from a melt. Igneous rocks . Form as magma cools and crystallizes . Rocks formed inside Earth are called . plutonic. or intrusive rocks . Rocks formed on the surface . Granite, Basalt, Obsidian, Pumice and many others . Igneous Rocks are records of the thermal history of Earth. Most common of all rocks is Granite: . Granite . is a light-colored . igneous rock.  with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye.  It forms from the slow crystallization of magma below Earth’s surface.  Granite is composed mainly of quartz and  feldspar with minor amounts of mica, amphiboles and other minerals.   This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock. Syenite, Phonolite, . Ijolite. , Carbonatite, Ultramafic Rocks and Lamprophyre. 2. IUGS Intrusive Igneous Rock Chart . 3. General Intrusive Rocks Classification. . 4. Position on IUGS Diagram.

IUGS Intrusive Igneous Rock Chart . 3. “Granite”. Rocks in this lab are plutonic. They formed by very slow cooling and show corresponding large crystals. There are three different types of rocks . Igneous ,metamorphic , . sedimentry. . I will tell you . information about them. . . Info on the rocks . The igneous rock. The igneous rock can be found in different colours. The igneous rock is formed when magma cools and solidifies, it may do this above . Compare these pictures, can you determine how old she is? . What is the difference between these two images?. What is the difference between these two images?. Definitions . Now take 10 minutes to look up extrusive and intrusive, what do these words mean? . a. metamorphic rock. . b. sedimentary rock. . c. igneous rock. d. sediment. . #1. Which of the following processes is NOT part of the rock cycle?. a. solidification. . b. chiseling. c. erosion. d. metamorphism.
