What Did You Discover? • Magma vs. lava • Cooling Rate/crystal size • Intrusive vs. Extrusive
Igneous Rocks Coffee Talk
I. Formation They are formed when hot, liquid rock, or magma, cools and solidifies (Hardens)
II. Classification • Igneous rocks are classified according to their composition and texture. • 4 basic types of textures • Glassy – black and sharp • Fine grained – interlocking pieces • Coarse grained – consist of interlocking mineral crystals • Porphyritic – made of large crystals scattered on the back of small crystals.
Igneous Rocks Coarse-Grained Fine-Grained Granite Rhyolite Gabbro Basalt
MUST KNOW INFO III. Magma vs. Lava Magma – molten material below the earth’s surface. Lava– molten material above the earth’s surface.
IV. 2 Types of Igneous Rocks
A. Intrusive Igneous Rocks: • Magma pushes into surrounding rock below the Earth’s surface • Cools slower • Large Crystals • Think: (INSIDE)
Examples: GRANITE GABBRO
Did you know?!?! Granite is the most abundant intrusive rock!
B. Extrusive Rocks: • forms when magma erupts onto the Earth’s surface (lava), • cools quickly • very small or no crystals formed • Think: (EXTERIOR)
Example: BASALT Basalt is the most common EXTRUSIVE igneous rock!
Did you know?!?! Another name for an Extrusive rock is a VOLCANIC rock
A Closer Look at an Igneous Rock Obsidian is a dark-colored volcanic glass that forms from the very rapid cooling of molten rock material. It cools so rapidly that crystals do not form. Is it fine-grained or coarse-grained? Is this rock Intrusive or Extrusive?

Rocks Rock! Tier 2 Igneous Due: Friday, August 24
Tier 2 Activities • Create a song • Make a facebook page *Goal: Demonstrate the knowledge between intrusive vs. extrusive Igneous Rocks
Must Include: • Magma Vs. Lava • Difference between Instrusive and Extrusive (cooling rate, crystal size, location) • How Igneous Rocks are formed • Be typed or written in black ink • 5 or more COLORFUL pictures
