Sedimentary Metamorphic Rock Very slowly weathered minerals eg quartz muscovite Slowly weathered minerals eg feldspars biotite Easily weathered minerals eg augite hornblende olivine. Colby Geology. Igneous Rocks. Classification based on . composition. and . texture. .. COMPOSITION. Principally the rock-forming minerals. Olivine. Pyroxenes. Amphiboles. Micas. Feldspars. Quartz. Constitute 95% of minerals in . “Liquid Hot Magma!”. Igneous Rocks. Rocks formed from cooling of lava or magma. Lava-Melted rock erupted from volcanoes and deposited on the earth’s surface. Cools quickly.. Magma-Melted rock that sits inside the earth in a magma chamber. Cools slowly.. Major Rock Groups . 2. Igneous . Sedimentary . Metamorphic. Rocks. are melted due to extreme heat creating . magma. . New rocks are . formed when. magma cools down.. Rocks form at Earth’s surface when. What are the different types and textures of igneous rocks?. How do cooling rates affect the grain sizes in igneous rocks?. What are some of the uses of igneous rocks?. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education. Question #. 1b. Hardness. Texture Luster. Igneous rocks are classified in what three ways?. Question #1. Igneous rock that forms . IN. . the . earth is ________.. Igneous rock that forms when molten. Introduction. Igneous Rocks – rocks that appear to have been molten in the past. Molten rock names (based on location). Magma: molten rock found anywhere beneath the earth’s surface. Lava: molten rock that flows out onto the earth’s surface. RHYOLITES, LATITE, TRACHYTE AND GLASSY EXTRUSIVE ROCKS. 2. IUGS Extrusive Igneous Rock Chart. 3. Silica Content Classification. 4. Naming aphanitic rocks. In naming aphanetic extrusive rocks, the name is often based only on a few phenocrysts. This is why a mafic name prefix is often used, for example hypersthene andesite. A better name is hypersthene phenoandesite.. Mineral and Rock Vocabulary. Rock. Rock is a solid mixture of crystals of one or more minerals. Rocks are categorized into 3 types on how they are made. Each rock in each category is classified (named) by its TEXTURE and COMPOSITION. 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 . Syenite, Phonolite, . Ijolite. , Carbonatite, Ultramafic Rocks and Lamprophyre. 2. IUGS Intrusive Igneous Rock Chart . 3. General Intrusive Rocks Classification. . 4. Position on IUGS Diagram. Syenites are on the border between the QAP and the APF triangles. Types of Rocks. Sedimentary Rocks. Metamorphic Rocks. Igneous Rocks. Sedimentary Rocks. How They are Made. Wind and water break down the earth. Bits of earth settle in lakes and rivers. Layers are formed and build up. 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? . Metamorphic. Rock. What is it made up of?. Sand, clay, silt, organic matter (fossils). How is it formed (process)?. Weathering. (wind, flowing water, ice, living organisms) create sediment. Erosion. As magma cools underground, it will begin to solidify within Earth’s crust.. Once completely crystallized, these masses of igneous intrusive rock are referred to as INTRUSIONS or as PLUTONS. We will talk about several types of igneous .
