Lava flows are typically finer grained than intrusive igneous rocks. As a mafic magma starts to cool, some of the silica combines with iron and magnesium to make olivine. A __________ texture would be most UNLIKELY to occur in an extrusive igneous rock. This heat makes magma a very fluid and dynamic substance, able to create new landforms and engage physical and chemical transformations in a variety of different environments. C) the rock's color Ultramafic refers to the extremely mafic rocks composed of mostly olivine and some pyroxene which have even more magnesium and iron and even less silica. This lava cools into basalt, a rock that is heavy and dark in color due to its higher iron and magnesium levels. It is the source of all igneous rock.

These volcanic mounds can grow into volcanic islands over millions of years of activity. As the magma rises to the surface, the drop in pressure causes the dissolved volatiles to come bubbling out of solution, like the fizz in an opened bottle of soda. A significant exception to this is active volcanoes, which are discussed in a later section on volcanism. A. Typical mafic rocks are gabbro (intrusive) and basalt (extrusive). There are 3 main agents that cause metamorphism. It is important to realize these groups do not have sharp boundaries in nature, but rather lie on a continuous spectrum with many transitional compositions and names that refer to specific quantities of minerals. A) pyroclastic Andesite and diorite likewise refer to extrusive and intrusive intermediate rocks (with dacite and granodiorite applying to those rocks with composition between felsic and intermediate). C. assimilation of "foreign" rocks by the magma In a porphyritic texture, what is represented by the rock's "groundmass"? St. Helens volcano, Washington state Magma Escape Routes Magma leaves the confines of the upper mantle and crust in two major ways: as an intrusion or as an extrusion. E. All of these. E. pyroxene Are plutons assembled over. When volcanoes erupt explosively, vast amounts of lava, rock, ash, and gases are thrown into the atmosphere. The cracks, called fissures or vents, are tell-tale signs of a volcano. C) number of ions Igneous rocks contain information about how they originate. The most abundant elements are oxygen and silicon, followed by aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Match the igneous rock texture and its appropriate description. A rock that chiefly consists of pegmatitic texture is known as a pegmatite. This explains why a cooling magma can have some crystals within it and yet remain predominantly liquid. Visible quartz and potassium feldspar grains are the main constituents in a. A stock is a type of pluton with less surface exposure than a batholith and may represent a narrower neck of material emerging from the top of a batholith. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. If any melting takes place, crystal settling will make the magma at the bottom of the chamber more mafic than it was to begin with (Figure 3.3.6c). St. Helens volcano, and why? 2. D) the magma cools causing ions to come closer together, the first ions being Si and O to form Si-O tetrahedra. Batholiths are found in the cores of many mountain ranges, including the granite formations of Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada of California. These differences in chemical composition are directly related to differences in gas content, temperature, and viscosity. 2. porphyritic andesite If magma cools slowly, deep within the crust, the resulting rock is called intrusive or plutonic. The method, in brief, was to melt the rock to a magma in a specially-made kiln, allow it to cool slowly to a specific temperature (allowing some minerals to form), and then quench it (cool it quickly) so that no new minerals form (only glass). The sequence in which minerals crystallize from a magma is known as the Bowen reaction series (Figure 3.3.1 and Figure 3.3.3). In this case, water overlying the subducting seafloor would lower the melting temperature of the mantle, generating magma that rises to the surface. Haydn's opus 33 string quartets were first performed for What is the most important factor for whether a magma cools slowly or quickly? Note that these 8 elements make up about 99 percent of the Earth's crust. Thick, viscous felsic magma can trap gas bubbles in a volcanos magma chamber. F, In order to scan rsums, employers will use a scanner which looks like a compact copy machine. B. heat expansion of the ions breaks apart the crystalline solid 2. pressure In fact, magma has only been discovered three times in its natural habitat deep in Earths crust. What are the other two, smaller percentage components of most magmas? Because felsic lavas are less mobile, it is less common than granite. B. quartz Young, emerging subvolcanic intrusion cutting through older one, Xenolith (solid rock of high melting temperature which has been transported within the magma from deep below) or roof pendant (fragment of the roof of the magma chamber that has detached from the roof and sunk into the melt), Contact metamorphism in the country rock adjacent to the magma chamber (caused by the heat of the magma), Uplift at the surface due to laccolith emplacement in the near sub-ground, Active magma chamber (called pluton when cooled and entirely crystallized; a batholith is a large rock body composed of several plutonic intrusions), Old pegmatite (late-magmatic dyke formed by aggressive and highly mobile residual melts of a magma chamber). solid and pinstriped Plus, they are, by definition, exposed to the elements of erosion immediately. As cooling continues, the various reactions on the discontinuous branch will proceed because silica is abundant, the plagioclase will become increasingly sodium-rich, and eventually potassium feldspar and quartz will form. Gabbro is a coarse-grained mafic igneous rock, made with mainly mafic minerals like pyroxene and only minor plagioclase. The Hawaiian Islands are a direct result of mafic magma eruptions. The word reaction is critical. A. rhyolite It is commonly vesicular and aphanitic.

B. diorite If that magma is then involved in a volcanic eruption, the rest of the liquid will cool quickly to form a porphyritic texture. in Developments in Precambrian Geology (ed. These trapped bubbles can cause explosive and destructive eruptions. Nature rarely has sharp boundaries and the classification and naming of rocks often impose what appears to be sharp boundary names onto a continuous spectrum. When volcanoes erupt explosively, vast amounts of lava, rock, ash, and gases are thrown into the atmosphere. In violent eruptions, the volume of magma shrinks so much that the entire magma chamber collapses and forms a caldera. The densest magma sinks near the bottom of the chamber. Intermediate MagmaIntermediate magma has higher silica content (roughly 60%) than mafic magma. Cooling history is also related to changes that can occur to the composition of igneous rocks. The Journal of Geology 39, 5467 (1931). Granite: Granite is the intrusive equivalent of rhyolite but has a coarser texture. This more gaseous and sticky lava tends to explode violently and cools as andesite rock. 6. basalt B. Si and O are the least abundant elements in the magma. A. Si and O are the most abundant elements in the magma. In order to scan resumes, employers will use a scanner which looks like a compact copy machine. = 15 ? Note that, unlike Figure 3.2.1, these compositions are expressed in terms of oxides (e.g., Al2O3 rather than just Al). Most magma chambers sit far beneath the surface of the Earth. When magma is ejected by a volcano or other vent, the material is called lava. Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing rock or organic material. Rhyolite is a fine-crystalline felsic extrusive rock. The dike is younger than the rocks it cuts across and, as discussed in the chapter on Geologic Time (Chapter 7), may be used to assign actual numeric ages to sedimentary sequences, which are notoriously difficult to age date. Decompression melting also occurs at mantle plumes, columns of hot rock that rise from Earths high-pressure core to its lower-pressure crust. Tephra fragments are named based on sizeash (<2 mm), lapilli (2-64 mm), and bombs or blocks (>64 mm). The black colors are likely two or three different minerals. Another is the native rock is melted and consumed into the rising magma or broken into pieces that settle into the magma, a process known as stoping. 2. gabbro D) komatiite Figure 4.1.1. A) The glass is formed mostly when lava cools in a volcano whereas phaneritic rocks cool at the surface. 3.5 Igneous Rocks Charlene Estrada. Porphyritic texture indicates the magma body underwent a multi-stage cooling history, cooling slowly while deep under the surface and later rising to a shallower depth or the surface where it cooled more quickly. Igneous rocks are classified based on texture and composition. As with dikes, sills are younger than the surrounding layers and may be radioactively dated to study the age of sedimentary strata. B) The rock has mineral grains that are glassy. Being that oxygen and silicon are the most abundant elements in magma, geologists define magma types in terms of their silica content, expressed as SiO2. A stock is a type of pluton with less surface exposure than a batholith and may represent a narrower neck of material emerging from the top of a batholith.

When located beneath the ocean, these plumes, also known as hot spots, push magma onto the seafloor. A. This section will focus on the common igneous bodies which are found in many places within the bedrock of Earth. D. glassy and frothy texture This section will focus on the common igneous bodies which are found in many places within the bedrock of Earth. Peacock, M. A. Added 2/10/2022 11:11:08 PM This answer has been confirmed as correct and helpful. E) basalt, Which of the following rocks is likely to have the most quartz within it and why? These eruptions eject lava violently into the air, which cools into dacite and rhyolite rock. Mysterious MagmaMagma is usually studied as lava or igneous rock. As the temperature drops, and assuming that some silica remains in the magma, the olivine crystals will react (combine) with some of the silica in the magma to form pyroxene. Residual molten material expelled from igneous intrusions may form veins or masses containing very large crystals of minerals like feldspar, quartz, beryl, tourmaline, and mica. As a magma cools below 1300C, minerals start to crystallize within it. Which type of magma is most likely to quench into a natural glass? Magma is extremely hotbetween 700 and 1,300 Celsius (1,292 and 2,372 Fahrenheit). C) the composition Solid rock can be changed into a new rock by stresses that cause an increase in heat and pressure. A) andesite C) highly fluid, cools quickly The resulting rock is called volcanic glass. Name one advantage and one disadvantage of drug combination therapy. 1: Granite is a classic coarse-grained (phaneritic) intrusive igneous rock. What is magma? Extrusive igneous rocks are _________, whereas intrusive igneous rocks are _________. Batholiths and stocks are discordant intrusions that cut across and through surrounding country rock. If the magma has a low viscosity (i.e., its runny)which is likely if it is maficthe crystals that form early, such as olivine (Figure 3.3.6a), may slowly settle toward the bottom of the magma chamber (Figure 3.3.6b). 3. extrusive igneous rock Granite is a good approximation for the continental crust, both in density and composition. Any interactives on this page can only be played while you are visiting our website. C) basaltic, rhyolitic Which of the following can account for variations in a magma/rock composition? C) intermediate - the intermediate range composition magma makes for strato volcanoes that are mostly passive erupting When porphyritic, it often has either olivine or plagioclase phenocrysts. Using Figure 3.3.8, predict what phenocrysts might be present where the magma cooled as far as line a in one case, and line b in another. B) the rock's composition D) felsic - very sticky magma makes for explosive eruptions, Which one of the following rock types contains the greatest amount of quartz? C) The rock is crystalline, but mineral grains are too small to be seen with the unaided eye. Andesite and diorite likewise refer to extrusive and intrusive intermediate rocks (with dacite and granodiorite applying to those rocks with composition between felsic and intermediate). D) Temperature of the environment - higher T = slower magma cooling. The pool of magma in a magma chamber is layered. Weegy: 15 ? Andesite is a fine crystalline intermediate extrusive rock. The process by which the same igneous rock may produce different magma compositions upon melting. Soon after that, all of the magma is used up and no further changes takes place. On the figure above, the top row has both plutonic and volcanic igneous rocks arranged in a continuous spectrum from felsic on the left to intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic toward the right. B. may be composed of grains of olivine and pyroxene phenocrysts Rocks labeled as granite in laymen applications can be several other rocks, including syenite, tonalite, and monzonite. D. Heavier crystals float on the top of the magma in the magma chamber producing a layered igneous rock upon complete solidification. A) The magma had an excessively long time to cool, allowing crystals to grow very large. The Bowen reaction series is one of the results of his work, and even a century later, it is an important basis for our understanding of igneous rocks. Komatiite is a rare rock because volcanic material that comes directly from the mantle is not common, although some examples can be found in ancient Archean rocks [2]. Mafic rocks/magmas are ________, whereas felsic rocks/magmas are ________. As the temperature continues to drop, olivine becomes unstable while pyroxene becomes stable. As it cools further, much of the remaining silica goes into calcium-rich plagioclase, and any silica left may be used to convert some of the olivine to pyroxene. Granite commonly has large amounts of salmon pink potassium feldspar and white plagioclase crystals that have visible cleavage planes. Rhyolite is a fine-crystalline felsic extrusive rock. Igneous rocks are common in the geologic record, but surprisingly, it is the intrusive rocks that are more common. B) mineral composition B) The glass is formed mostly when magma cools deep beneath the surface whereas phaneritic rocks cool at the surface. B) amount of space available for crystals to fill F) Both c. and d. A sill is a concordant intrusion that runs parallel to the sedimentary layers in the country rock.
