IGNEOUS ROCKS Flashcards
Formed from solidification of magma or lava which flows out from depth
Igneous Rocks
givr 3 examples of components of almost all types of igneous rocks
quartz, feldspar, mica
Igneous rocks are characterized by
Intergrowth of crystals and volcanic glass
Crystal size is ________________ to the cooling rate of magma
directly proportional
formed deep underground
Big crystals
formed near the surface
smaller crystals
Bowen’s reaction series is a general model is created to show the __________________ at specific
progression of silicate crystallization
two types of Igneous Rocks
extrusive rocks
intrusive rocks
forms when magma or volcanic fragments erupt and solidify on Earth’s Surface, that results with very small crystals
extrusive rocks
forms when magma crystallizes within the crust and is composed of medium to coarse grains
Intrusive Rocks
shows the progression of silicate minerals crystallization at specific temerature condition
