Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. To begin‚ igneous rocks come from magma‚ and magma is related to plate tectonics. Magmas differ in composition‚ temperature and viscosity. This is a major identifier of igneous rocks‚ is that they were once molten and magma Plate tectonics are the theory that the Earth’s lithosphere‚ which is the outer rigid shell is composed of several different pieces‚ or “plates” that float on a ductile

Minerals and Rocks Minerals Minerals: Minerals are elements or compounds found in the earth. The elements or compounds are called minerals if they have five features. They are solids. They are formed naturally in the earth. They have the same chemical makeup throughout They are not alive or made of living things. They have definite arrangement of atoms. 3‚000 different minerals are found in the earth. Some are common but most are rare. Aluminum‚ quartz‚ feldspar

Igneous Rock SCI245 July 20‚ 2011 CheckPoint: Igneous Rocks The answer to how igneous rocks are formed is given in their name; Igneous is Latin for “fire”. This basically means igneous rocks are cooled fire rocks from magma or lava‚ depending on where they cooled and formed. There are two categories of igneous rocks that also depend on where each was formed. Intrusive igneous rocks are igneous rocks that form when magma cools slowly and becomes solid underground. Extrusive igneous rocks are igneous

First off you should know what a rock cycle is. The rock cycle is a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary‚ metamorphic‚ and igneous. Rocks make rocks. The cycle begins within the core of the earth. The molten rock in the core of the earth is called magma. Once the rock is forced to the earth’s lithosphere or crust‚ the molten rock becomes lava and thereby begins its long journey of development

A joint is defined as a fracture in a rock between the sides of which there is no observable relative movement. They are present is most consolidated rocks of igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary origin. Joints may form as a result of either diastrophism or contraction. Description: (i) A series of parallel joints is called a ’joint set’. (ii) Two or more joint sets intersecting each other produce a ’joint system’. (iii) Two sets of joints nearly at right angles to one another‚ produced by the
