Do Now Take out new section of notes and label it rocks Igneous Rocks Rocks that form when natural molten liquid rockforming material cools into a solid Liquid rock BENEATH Earths surface. 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. Material that forms the earth’s crust.. What are rocks made from?. Rocks are made up of different minerals.. These minerals are held together by a natural cement.. There are many different types of rocks with different mineral content, hardness, and texture. . “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.. 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.. 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. 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. A rock is a naturally occurring . solid. mixture composed of . minerals. , . smaller rock fragments. , . organic. . material. , or . glass. . The individual particles in a rock are known as . grains. 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 . Sedimentary-sandstone. Metamorphic- gneiss. Igneous- diorite. 1. What is a Rock?. Naturally Occurring . (not man made). Solid. Mixture of minerals other organic matter. 2. What makes a rock different from a mineral?. 3 Types of Rocks. There are 3 different types of rocks;. Igneous. Sedimentary. Metamorphic. Igneous Rock . . Igneous rocks are formed by magma and lava as it cools. Igneous rocks form in two different ways. . 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCnAF1Opt8M. 1. What are the building blocks of rocks? . 2. How are rocks classified?. 3. What are the parts of a volcano?. Magma chamber. vent. Crater. sill. Magma conduit. CLASSIFICATION OF ROCKS:. ON THE BASIS OF MODE OF FORMATION ROCKS ARE CLASSIFIED INTO THREE CATEGORIES:. 1 IGNEOUS ROCKS. 2 SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. 3 METAMORPHIC ROCKS.  . ROCKS. IGNEOUS ROCKS:.  . IGNEOUS ROCKS, ALSO KNOWN AS PRIMARY ROCKS ARE FORMED BY SOLIDIFICATION OF MAGMA. MAGMA IS MOLTEN ROCK MATERIAL CONSISTING OF LIQUID,GAS AND CRYSTAL.IGNEOUS ROCKS ARE RECODS OF THERMAL HISTORY OF EARTH..
