2 A rock is a naturally formed, consolidated material usually composed of grains of one or more minerals The rock cycle shows how one type of rocky material gets transformed into another The Rock Cycle Representation of how rocks are formed, broken down, and processed in response to changing conditions Processes may involve interactions of geosphere with hydrosphere, atmosphere and/or biosphere Arrows indicate possible process paths within the cycle
3 Imagine the first rock and the cycles that it has been through.
4 Igneous Rocks Form from Magma Hot, partially molten mixture of solid liquid and gas Mineral crystals form in the magma making a crystal slush Gases - H 2 O, CO 2, etc. - are dissolved in the magma Magma is less dense than solid rock
5 Magma vs. Lava Igneous Rocks Magma is molten rock beneath the surface Lava is molten rock that has reached the surface Magma solidifies to form intrusive igneous rocks Lava solidifies to form extrusive igneous rocks
6 Igneous Rocks Composition varies widely Oxygen plus major elements Generally a silica (SiO 2 ) melt Silica and water content control viscosity Silica content is used in classification
7 Mafic Magmas Silica content of ~ 50% High concentrations of Fe, Mg and Ca High temperature of molten magma 1000 o to 1200 o C Major minerals Olivine - Ca Plagioclase Pyroxene
8 Silicic Magma Silica content of 65-77% High concentrations of Al, Na and K Lower temperature magmas Less than 850 o C Major minerals Feldspars - Micas Quartz
9 Magma Viscosity Controlled by silica and water and temperature As magma cools, silica tetrahedron form links Similar to polymers - e.g., nylon Increasing linkages Higher silica & lower temp Linkages increase viscosity Note: this is just like oils, fats and other organic compounds used in the household
10 Magma Viscosity Water and volatiles influence viscosity like a big malted milkshake H 2 O and CO 2 make up 90+% of dissolved gases in magmas Typical range of dissolved gases is 0.1 to 5% Up to 15% is possible High H 2 O content prevents silica linkages High volatile content may cause explosive eruptions what s true for humans is true for Mother Nature
11 Occurrence of Igneous Rocks Found globally Formed in discrete geologic settings Convergent plate margins Intrusions and overlying volcanoes Divergent plate margins Mid-ocean ridge basalts and continental rifts Mantle plumes (very mafic)
12 Figure 4.2. Distribution of igneous rocks in North America
13 Igneous Textures Texture - the size, shape and relationship of mineral crystals in the rock Reflects cooling history of the magma or lava Slow cooling rate >> Big crystals Fast cooling rate >> Small crystals Very fast cooling rate >> glass
14 Glassy Texture Very rapid cooling - quenched Volcanic glass (obsidian) Conchoidal fracture No apparent crystals embryonic crystals may be present or devitrification may have begun Dark color from low concentrations of Fe (a little goes a long way) and size of crystalline unit - generally silicic composition
15 Figure 4.3A. Glassy texture in obsidian
16 Crystalline Textures Crystal growth requires time for ions to migrate - form minerals Slow rate of cooling provides time for crystal growth Crystals grow until melt is quenched or is completely solidified
17 Aphanitic Texture Fine grained texture Few crystals visible in hand specimen Relatively rapid rate of cooling Vesicles may be formed by gases trapped in cooling magma
18 Figure 4.3B. Aphanitic texture in rhyolite
19 Phaneritic Texture Coarse grained texture Relatively slow rate of cooling Equigranular, interlocking crystals Slow cooling = crystallization at depth Pegmatites - very coarse grained texture
20 Figure 4.3C. Phaneritic texture in granite
21 Porphyritic Texture Well formed crystals (phenocrysts) Fine grained matrix (groundmass) Complex cooling history Initial stage of slow cooling Large, well formed crystals form Later stage of rapid cooling Remaining magma crystallizes more rapidly
22 Pyroclastic Texture Produced by explosive volcanic eruptions May appear porphyritic with visible crystals Crystals show breakage or distortion Matrix may be dominated by glassy fragments Fragments also show distortion Hot fragments may weld together
23 Figure 4.3D. Pyroclastic texture
24 Classification of Igneous Rocks Texture Aphanitic Phanaritic Composition Silicic Intermediate Mafic Ultramafic Combination of Texture and Composition produces rock name
25 Figure 4.4. Classification of common igneous rocks
26 Extrusive Rock Bodies Volcanic Form of extrusive bodies influenced by magma properties Composition Silica content Viscosity Volatile content Temperature
27 Basaltic Eruptions Low Silica + High T = Low Viscosity Produce Lava Flows - Pahoehoe or Aa Flood basalts Fissure eruptions Spatter cones Shield Volcanoes Pillow lavas

48 Size comparison of various volcanic features
49 Intrusive Rock Bodies Plutonic Less dense magmas rise through the crust Rising magmas slowly cool Viscosity increases Density increases Intrusions form as magma solidifies beneath the surface
50 Intrusive Rock Bodies Intrusions are classified by their size, shape and relative age Large intrusions Batholiths Stocks Small intrusions Dikes Sills Laccoliths
51 Figure Types of magmatic intrusions
52 Origin of Magmas Solid rock is at equilibrium with its surrounding Changes in the surroundings may cause solid rock magma Raising T Lowering P Changing composition
53 Lowering P Origin of Magmas Mantle convection moves deep mantle rocks upwards Raising T Hot mafic magma intrudes into the crust Changing composition Adding small amounts of water
54 Magma Differentiation Magmas, and the resulting igneous rocks, show a wide range of compositions Source Rock variations cause major and minor variations in the magma Magma Mixing Assimilation
55 Figure Processes of magma differentiation
56 Magma Differentiation Partial Melting Individual minerals within source rock melt at different T Resulting magma is enriched in many elements, especially SiO 2 Resulting magma is less dense than source rock
57 Magma Differentiation Fractional Crystallization Individual minerals precipitate from magma at different T Bowen s Reaction Series Remaining magma is enriched in many elements, especially SiO 2 Remaining magma may migrate
