Igneous Rock FormationIgneous Rock FormationMost Igneous rocks form directly
from Magma which is hot, molten rock
Granite is the most common igneous rock, it cooled from magma
Igneous rocks can also form from lava

3. First Classification of Magma:3. First Classification of Magma:Felsic
Is rich in Silica (SiO2)
Small amounts of Ca, Fe, Mg (Calcium, Iron, & Magnesium)
Slow-moving, thick= HIGH VISCOSITY (resistance to flowing)
Crystallizes to light-coloredlight-colored minerals Resulting rocks have relatively low densitylow density Felsic rocks make up the continentscontinents

Crystal SizeCrystal SizeCrystal SizeCrystal Size
Intrusive Rock (Large Crystal Size)
Because it is inside the Earth, it cools very slowly, giving crystals time to grow
Extrusive Rock (Small crystal size)
Cools very quickly so crystals do not have time to form

Igneous Rock LabIgneous Rock Lab Use your Igneous observations sheet Rotate independently between the 25 stations
set up around the room Start with whichever station number you are
located Round 1: You will have less than 1 minute
at each station Do not switch to the next station until told to do
so, only 1 person at at station (if you have extra time, study your notes)
Round 2: You may go back to any unoccupied station, if needed
