Remember the. “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.. The Rock Cycle. The Rock . Cycle. Types of Rocks. Igneous. Intrusive. Extrusive. Pyroclastic. Sedimentary. Chemical. Precipitates and Evaporites. Fossiliferous. Clastic. Sorted. Unsorted. Metamorphic. 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 . 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. 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. Rocks are composed of two or more minerals. Rocks are very helpful in dating the age of the earth. Classification of Rocks. Igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks. Metamorphic rocks. Igneous Rocks. The word ‘igneous’ has been derived from a . 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? . Sedimentary rocks form in 1 of 3 ways:. 1. . Clastic. Sedimentary Rocks- made of pieces and grains of other rocks. Material such as . sand . or . mud. -usually deposited in . water. Conglomerate sandstone.

Igneous Texture. Texture: size, shape and arrangement of constituent mineral grains. Crystallinity: percentage of crystals versus glass, depends on:. Rate of cooling . SiO2 content of magma. The Rock Cycle. Defined: . The process by which all rocks on Earth are formed and how basic Earth materials are recycled over time . Note: A very, very long time. The Rock Cycle. Three main types of rock on Earth.
