3 Rock Types What is the basis for this classification? Physical Geology

4 Definitions magma - molten rock that is produced from pre-existing rock in the asthenosphere by Earth's internal heat. The magma then rises into the lithosphere and cools on the surface or in the subsurface. lava-magma flowing on the surface of the Earth igneous-formed from fire plutonic-formed at depth Physical Geology

5 Igneous Rocks Physical Geology

6 Igneous Rocks Intrusive Rocks Extrusive Rocks Physical Geology

7 Igneous Rocks Intrusive Textures PhaneriticPegmatitic Physical Geology

8 Igneous Rocks Extrusive Textures AphaniticGlassy Vesicular Fragmental Physical Geology

9 Igneous Rocks Porphyritic Texture Physical Geology

11 Magma Physical Geology

12 Felsic Magma silica content -high, >65% temperature-< 900 0 C viscosity-high Na, K, Al content-high Ca, Fe, Mg content-very low eruption-explosive (Mount St. Helens) minerals-Na-rich plagioclase feldspar potassium feldspar quartz Physical Geology

13 Intermediate Magma silica content -intermediate, 53 - 65% temperature-900 - 1100 0 C viscosity-intermediate Na, K, Al content-intermediate Ca, Fe, Mg content-intermediate eruption-intermediate (Andes Mtns.) minerals-plagioclase feldspar amphibole Physical Geology

14 Mafic Magma silica content -low, 45 - 52% temperature-1100 - 1300 0 C viscosity-low (fluid) Na, K, Al content-low Ca, Fe, Mg content-high eruption-quiet (Kilauea) minerals-Ca-rich plagioclase feldspar pyroxene olivine Physical Geology

15 Ultramafic Magma silica content -very low, <45% temperature-~1400 0 C viscosity-very low (fluid) Na, K, Al content-very low Ca, Fe, Mg content-very high eruption-none (Cyprus) minerals-pyroxene olivine Physical Geology

16 Igneous Rocks Magma Formation Processes Decompression Melting Addition of Impurities Temperature (Geothermal Gradient) Physical Geology

17 Magma Formation The Geothermal Gradient Physical Geology

18 Magma Formation Impurities Physical Geology

19 Magmatic Variability Bowen's Reaction Series Physical Geology

20 Magmatic Variability Fractionation Differentiation/Partial Melting Assimilation Mixing Physical Geology
