Extrusive igneous rocks form on or near the surface.

Intrusive igneous rocks form below the surface.

What are Igneous Rocks?

What are Igneous Rocks?

• Form from crystallized magma (lava = magma that flowed out onto Earth’s surface)

• Ignis is Latin for “fire”• Extrusive (fine-grained, cool quickly)• Intrusive (course-grained, cool slowly)

Magma CompositionMagma Composition

• O, Si, Al, Fe, Mg, Ca, K and Na

How rocks meltHow rocks melt

• Partial Melting – process when some minerals melt while others remain solid

• Fractional Crystallization – cooling in the reverse order of melting
