Teacher’s Notes
Igneous rocks

Igneous rocks are the rocks that form when molten material cools and crystallizes.

Composition of magma

The type of igneous rock that forms depends on the composition of the magma. Magma is often a slushy
mix of molten rock, dissolved gases, and mineral crystals. The common elements present in magma are the
same major elements that are in Earth’s crust: oxygen (O), silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), magnesium
(Mg), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and sodium (Na). Of all the compounds present in magma, silica is the most
abundant and has the greatest effect on magma characteristics.

Classification of Igneous Rocks

Classification of igneous rocks is based on mineral composition, crystal size, and texture.

Mineral Composition of Igneous Rocks

Igneous rocks are broadly classified as intrusive or extrusive. When magma cools and crystallizes below Earth’s
surface, intrusive rocks form. If the magma is injected into the surrounding rock, it is called an igneous
intrusion. Crystals of intrusive rocks are generally large enough to see without magnification. Magma that cools
and crystallizes on Earth’s surface forms extrusive rocks. These are sometimes referred to as lava flows or
flood basalts. The crystals that form in these rocks are small and difficult to see without magnification.
Geologists classify these rocks by their mineral compositions. In addition, physical properties such as grain size
and texture serve as clues for the identification of various igneous rocks.

Igneous rocks are classified according to their mineral compositions. Basaltic rocks, such as gabbro, are
dark-colored, have lower silica contents, and contain mostly plagioclase and pyroxene. Granitic rocks, such as
granite, are light-colored, have high silica contents, and contain mostly quartz, potassium feldspar, and
plagioclase feldspar. Rocks that have a composition of minerals that is somewhere in between basaltic and
granitic are called intermediate rocks. They consist mostly of plagioclase feldspar and hornblende. Diorite is a
good example of an intermediate rock.

Texture

In addition to differences in their mineral compositions, igneous rocks differ in the sizes of their grains or
crystals. Texture refers to the size, shape, and distribution of the crystals or grains that make up a rock. The
texture of rhyolite can be described as fine-grained, while granite can be described as coarse-grained. The
difference in crystal size can be explained by the fact that one rock is extrusive and the other is intrusive.

Crystal size and cooling rates

 When lava flows on Earth’s surface, it cools quickly and there is not enough time for large crystals to
form. The resulting extrusive igneous rocks, such as basalt, its crystals are so small that they are difficult to see
without magnification. Sometimes, cooling occurs so quickly that crystals do not form at all. The result is
volcanic glass, such as obsidian. In contrast, when magma cools slowly beneath Earth’s surface, there is
sufficient time for large crystals to form. Thus, intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite, diorite, and gabbro, can
have crystals larger than 1 cm.

Porphyritic rocks. A porphyritic (por fuh RIH tihk) texture is characterized by large, well-formed crystals
surrounded by finer-grained crystals of the same mineral or different minerals.

What causes minerals to form both large and small crystals in the same rock? Porphyritic textures indicate a
complex cooling history during which a slowly cooling magma suddenly began cooling rapidly. Imagine a
magma body cooling slowly, deep in Earth’s crust. As it cools, the first crystals to form grow large. If this
magma were to be suddenly moved higher in the crust, or if it erupted onto Earth’s surface, the remaining
magma would cool quickly and form smaller crystals.

Vesicular rocks Magma contains dissolved gases that escape when the pressure on the magma lessens. If the
lava is thick enough to prevent the gas bubbles from escaping, holes called vesicles are left behind. The rock
that forms looks spongy. This spongy appearance is called vesicular texture. (Examples of vesicular rock are
Pumice and vesicular basalt).
