• Igneous rocks - Formed from volcanic eruptions - either external or internal • Sedimentary rocks - Formed from erosional processes • Metamorphic rocks - Deforming of rocks above from exposure to high pressure and temperature
Three Types of Rocks

The Rock Cycle
• A rock is composed of grains of one or more minerals
• The rock cycle shows how one type of rocky material is transformed into another

Igneous extrusion (lava)
The resulting rock is fine-grained or has a glassy texture.
Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava eruptsat the surface.

Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma intrudes into unmelted rock masses.
The slow cooling process produces coarsely grained rocks.

How do we Know Igneous Rocks Formed at Depth?
Torres del Paine, Chile
• Mineralogy / Chemistry ? • Grain size (coarse vs fine grained) • Lab expmts require high P & T to form large grains • Outcrops: See intrusions into country rock
-Contact/chill zones, baked and metamorphosed
• Xenoliths of country rock found in igneous intrusions

Igneous Rock Identification• Igneous rock names are based on texture (grain size) and
composition
• Textural classification– Coarse-grained: Plutonic rocks (gabbro-diorite-granite) cooled slowly
at depth
– Fine-Grained: Volcanic rocks (basalt-andesite-rhyolite) cooled rapidly at the Earth’s surface
• Compositional classification– Mafic rocks (gabbro-basalt) contain dark-colored ferromagnesian
minerals, iron rich (50% silica)
– Intermediate rocks (diorite-andesite) contain roughly equal amounts of dark- and light-colored minerals
– Felsic rocks (granite-rhyolite) light-colored minerals, silica rich (65%)

Igneous Rock Textures
• Texture refers to the size, shape and arrangement of grains
• Texture of igneous rocks is controlled by cooling rate
• Extrusive rocks cool quickly at the Earth’s surface and are fine-grained (small <1 mm)
• Intrusive rocks cool slowly deep beneath Earth’s surface and are coarse-grained (large >1 mm)

Intrusive Rock Bodies
• Intrusive rocks exist in bodies or structures that penetrate or cut through pre-existing country rock
• Shallow intrusions: Dikes and sills• Form <2 km beneath Earth’s surface• Chill and solidify quickly in cool country rock

Intrusive Rock Bodies
•Plutons: deep magmatic intrusions - Form at considerable depth beneath the surface when rising blobs of magma (diapirs) get trapped within the crust

Intrusive Rock Bodies
• Volcanic neck – Shallow intrusion formed when magma
solidifies in throat of volcano
• Dike– Tabular intrusive structure that cuts across
any layering in country rock
• Sill– Tabular intrusive structure that parallels
layering in country rock

How Magma Forms
Heat from below • Melting Temp (T
m) of granite is
650oC and basalt is 1000oC
• Geothermal gradient: Rate at which temperature increases with depth beneath the surface is 30o/km
• Volcanic geotherm is higher due to rise of hot magma, gases (water), or composition change
Granite melting T = 650o C

Melting Temperature can be Effected by:
Increasing temperature Decrease in pressure
Addition of water
Mixed mineral composition
![Page 16: Igneous Rocks and Their Origin - csun.edudsw/chap5_volc.pdf · Igneous Rock Textures • Texture refers to the size, shape and arrangement of grains • Texture of igneous rocks is](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042412/5f2b146b430ca03efa1c2a73/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Heat vs. pressure– Melting point of minerals
generally increases with increasing pressure
– Decompression melting can occur when hot mantle rock moves upward and pressure is reduced enough to drop melting point to the temperature of the rising rock body
Melting Temperature can be Effected by:
![Page 17: Igneous Rocks and Their Origin - csun.edudsw/chap5_volc.pdf · Igneous Rock Textures • Texture refers to the size, shape and arrangement of grains • Texture of igneous rocks is](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042412/5f2b146b430ca03efa1c2a73/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
... Melting Temperature
• Hot water under pressure– Water becomes increasingly
reactive at higher temperatures
– Highly reactive water vapor can reduce the melting point of rocks by over 200°C
• Mineral mixtures– Mixtures of minerals, such as quartz
and potassium feldspar, can result in the melting of both at temperatures hundreds of degrees lower than either mineral would melt on its own

Magma Melting
Mixed magmas may have a lower melting temperature than either alone.

Magma Crystallization and Melting SequenceBowen's Reaction Series
• Minerals crystallize in a predictable order (and melt in the reverse order)
• Minerals crystallize in sequence with decreasing temperature

Bowen’s Reaction Series
![Page 20: Igneous Rocks and Their Origin - csun.edudsw/chap5_volc.pdf · Igneous Rock Textures • Texture refers to the size, shape and arrangement of grains • Texture of igneous rocks is](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042412/5f2b146b430ca03efa1c2a73/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Lessons from Bowen’s Reaction Series
• Variety of igneous rocks is produced by variety of magma compositions
• Mafic magmas will crystallize into basalt or gabbro
• Intermediate magmas will similarly crystallize into
diorite or andesite if minerals are not removed
• Minerals melt in the reverse order of that in which they crystallize from a magma

Igneous Activity and Plate Tectonics
• Igneous activity occurs primarily at or near tectonic plate boundaries
• Divergent boundaries: typically produce mafic igneous rocks
– Increased heat flow – Decompression melting at spreading centers
• Convergent boundaries: typically produce intermediate igneous rocks
– High pressures and high temperatures induce melting
– Water release melting occurs above subduction zones (andesite, granite)

Igneous Activity and Plate Tectonics
• Felsic igneous rocks are commonly formed adjacent to convergent boundaries
– Hot rising magma causes partial melting of the granitic continental crust
• Intraplate volcanism– Rising mantle plumes can
produce localized hotspots and volcanoes when they produce magmas that rise through oceanic or continental crust
– Hawaii is an example
