  1. Rocks Ch 5 CP/GHP Book

  2. Extrusive igneous rocks form on or near the surface. Intrusive igneous rocks form below the surface.

  3. What are Igneous Rocks? • Form from crystallized magma (lava = magma that flowed out onto Earth’s surface) • Ignis is Latin for “fire” • Extrusive (fine-grained, cool quickly) • Intrusive (course-grained, cool slowly)

  4. Magma Composition • O, Si, Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, K and Na • 96% of Earth’s crust is silica (SiO2) • Types of magmaRhyolitic 70%SiO2Andesitic 60%SiO2Basaltic 50%SiO2

  5. Magma Origin • Melting temperatures: 800°C-1200°C • Temperature, pressure, chemical composition and water content all affect magma • Types of Magma

  6. Magma Origin • Geothermal gradient (page 101)

  7. Magma Origin • Melting curve (page 102)

  8. Pause for lab or demo • Bowen’s reaction seriesmelting point of various itemscrystallization point of the same items • Materials:Red, orange and yellow crayonsChocolate chipsLots of gummy bearsCandlesIceHot plate

  9. Results from the lab/demo • Ice begins to melt at 32˚F • Chocolate 70-97˚F • M&M candy shell 98.6˚F • Gummy bears 115˚F • Candles 130˚F • Crayons 145-160˚F

  10. How rocks melt • Partial Melting – process when some minerals melt while others remain solid • Fractional Crystallization – cooling in the reverse order of melting

  11. Bowen’s Reaction Series • Geologist Neil L. Bowenminerals form in predictable patterns

  12. Bowen’s Reaction Series

  13. Classifying Igneous Rocks Ch 5.2 • Mineral CompositionFelsic - light colored rocks such as graniteIntermediate - medium colored, andesiteMafic – dark colored rocks such as basaltUltramafic – very high levels of iron, low silica

  14. Classifying Igneous Rocks • Grain Size

  15. Classifying Igneous Rocks • Texture Phaneritic (A)- same size crystals throughoutPorphyritic (B)- large crystals surrounded by finer-grained crystals

  16. Igneous rocks as resources • Ore Deposits • Veins and Pegmatites

  17. Igneous rocks as resources • Kimberlites - ultramafic rocks of peridotite that can contain diamonds
