9 Textbook Figure 6.6a Bowen’s Reaction Series

10 Obsidian (felsic) -extrusive - cooled very quickly above surface - “glassy” texture Granite (felsic) - intrusive – cooled slowly below surface - “phaneritic” texture – mineral crystals are visibl e Rhyolite (felsic) - extrusive – cooled above surface - “aphanitic” texture – mineral crystals are not visible to eye IGNEOUS ROCK TEXTURES

11 Magma composition…. So what minerals are in a: Felsic rock? Intermediate rock? Mafic rock?

13 Granite (felsic) – Intrusive – phaneritic texture Rhyolite (felsic) – extrusive – aphanitic texture Similar felsic composition, different cooling history

14 Diorite – intrusive – phaneritic texture Andesite – extrusive – aphanitic texture Similar intermediate composition, different cooling history

15 Gabbro – intrusive – phaneritic texture Basalt – extrusive – aphanitic texture Similar mafic composition, different cooling history
