1 Physical Geology Power Point Notes Chapter 3 Intrusive Activity and Igneous Rocks Slide 2: Draw a Web of Earth materials. Slide 3: Draw and label the Rock Cycle: Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 1 -

2 Slide 4: Define the following terms: is the chemical and physical breakup of mineral and rock material. is the pickup and transport of loose rock and mineral material. Deposition is is loose weathered and eroded rock and mineral material that has been deposited. Lithification is Slide 5: Define these terms: is the process in which the rock is changed from a solid to a liquid, forming magma. Magma Crystallization is the process in which form and the or turns to solid rock as the material cools. Lava is Slide 6 Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 2 -

3 There are igneous rocks based on the style of formation of the rock: and. are also called plutonic igneous rocks. was the God of the Underworld. These are rocks that cool Earth from magma. are also called volcanic igneous rocks. was the God of fire. These are rocks that cool Earth from lava. Slide 7: in a magma have high kinetic energy. They move very past and into each other. As a magma (lava) cools, ion motion. Eventually the ions slow down to a point that the force of between oppositely charged ions pulls ions together. This process continues until the melt has completely (crystallized). Slide 8: Name two criteria that are used to identify rocks: and is the size and shape of crystals (materials) in a rock. Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 3 -

4 is the make-up of the rock. A description of the minerals and materials that constitute the rock. Slide 9: is used to determine where a rock formed. There are common igneous rock textures. texture is a texture in which you can see all of the crystals in the rock. is a latin root that means visible. Draw a cartoon of a phaneritic texture. Slide 10: is a texture in which you can not see all of the crystals in the rock. Crystals are too small to see without magnification. A phan itic Draw a cartoon of a phaneritic texture. Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 4 -

5 is a texture in which you can See two or more different sizes on crystals in the rock. is the fine-grained (aphanitic) material surrounding phenocrysts. are largercrystals surrounded bysmall crystals in a rock. Draw a picture of a porphyritic texture. Label Phenocrysts and groundmass Slide 11: Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 5 -

6 has a lot of bubbles or holes. Glassy texture look like Pyroclastic texture is made of of rock and volcanic. Pyro = and clast = Also called a texture. The fragments were blown from a during a eruption. Slide 12: Rocks with a phaneritic texture are. Rocks with a phaneritic texture cooled. They cooled slowly, so that mineral crystals had to grow larger A texture indicates two episodes of cooling. Slide 13: The following textures are characteristic of extrusive igneous rocks: Aphanitic Glassy Vesicular Pyroclastic Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 6 -

7 Slide 14: Name three types of magma based on composition. a) b c) Slide 15: Felsic and Mafic are Opposites Some characteristics of felsic magmas/lavas include the following: a)they are. means slow flowing. b)they are rich in. are some other elements found in felsic magmas. c)they form colored rocks/minerals such as and. d)volcanoes produce eruptions. Some characteristics of mafic magmas/lavs include the following: a)mafic magmas are and flow more. b)mafic magmas are than felsic. c)they have low amounts of and are rich in. d)they form colored rocks/minerals such as. e)volcanoes produce eruptions. Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 7 -

8 Slide 16: Evidences for the formation of intrusive igneous rocks. 1) of Intrusive Vs Extrusive igneous rocks.. 2) minerals found in intrusive rocks. 3)Evidence from A)Magma into country rock. B)Country rock is. (baked zone) C) match country rock. D) in the igneous rocks. Slide 17: Draw in and label the following: Chile zone, baked zone, xenoliths Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 8 -

9 Slide 18: Definitions A is a piece of rock that is incorporated into an intrusion that is different than the rock around it. It has the same as the country rock into which the magma intruded. is the area around the borders of an intrusion that have been cooled at a quicker rate than the interior of the intrusion because of contact with cooler country rock. The chill zone generally has grains than the rest of the intrusion. Slide 19: Definitions continued is the area in country rock near the contact between an intrusion and the country rock. The country rock has been by heat from the intrusion. is a body of magma that has forced itsway into country rock. An intrusion is sometimes called a. is preexisting rock into which a body of magma intrudes. is the line or boundary where two different rock types meet. (Colorado Samples) Physical Geology C3 ppt notes - 9 -

10 Slide 20: There are Several Different Types of Intrusions. Label the igeneous-related features on the diagram below: Slide 21: Definitions Give examples of each where applicable. Volcanic Neck Dike Sill Stock Physical Geology C3 ppt notes

11 Batholith Laccolith Slide 22: World Wide Distribution of Igneouos Rocks In general terms, where do we find the following igneous rocks? Felsic Mafic Intermediate Slide 23: Sources of Heat for Melting Name and describe four sources for heat for melting rocks. Slide 24: Factors that Affect Melting of Rock 1)Pressure: Increased melting point. When hot rock rises, the melting pt because of a reduction in P. 2Water Vapor Pressure: Increased lowers melting pt.
