Presentation Transcript

  1. Bell Ringer: Please copy in your IAN!Ch.4.2 Igneous Rocks Describe three ways that igneous rock forms. Explain how the cooling rate of magma affects the texture of igneous rock. Distinguish between igneous rock that cools within Earth’s crust and igneous rock that cools at Earth’s surface.

  2. Igneous Rocks:Rocks of “fire”

  3. Igneous rock begins as magma.  there are three ways magma can form: 1) when rock is heated, 2) when pressure is released, 3) or when rock changes composition.

  4. Investigation • Today we will begin our investigation of igneous rocks by creating a visual image that relates to each of the 3 processes. • This investigation will take place in the form of a lab called, Fudgeous Rock. Lets take a look at our problem to solve, the background research, and our variables that we will be manipulating today!

  5. Problem: What happens to substances during igneous rock (fudge) formation? Research: Refer to Chapter 4, Section 2 (pgs 98-101) in your text to review information about igneous rocks. Continued rise in temperature can eventually melt any rock until it is molten (called magma). When the molten rock cools it forms an igneous rock. All three main types of rock (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) can be melted to form magma. Independent Variable: (I control…usually in procedure) 5 4 3 2 1 0 _______________________________________________________________________________ Dependent Variable: (what I observe…answers the lab problem) 5 4 3 2 1 _______________________________________________________________________________ Hypothesis: (If + IV + then + DV) 20 15 10 5 0 ___________________________________________________________

  6. 1) When magma cools enough, it solidifies to form igneous rock. Magma solidifies in much the same way that water freezes. 2) Liquid magma is a complex mixture containing many melted minerals. Because these minerals have different melting points, some minerals in the magma will freeze or become solid before other minerals do. So let’s take a closer look at our minerals/ingredients that we will turn into magma and igneous rocks…

  7. Mineral Identification: • Now, let’s complete a comparison study of a few common minerals/rocks that could resemble today’s variables that we will manipulate.

  8. Kaolin Mica Halite Graphite Basalt Marble Sulfur Calcite

  9. How do they form? • When hot, liquid rock ________ cools and solidifies. • If it cools quickly, it is _____________. • If it cools slowly, it is ______________. • It takes our fudgeous rock 2 hours to cool and harden. Is that fast or slow? How would we know?

  10. Origins of Igneous Rock • 3 ways magma can form: • ____________________________ • ____________________________ • Changes composition • It solidifies through freezing. 0 degrees Celsius vs. 1,000 degrees Celsius • Some minerals freeze faster than others. This can give igneous rocks unique textures

  11. Composition and Texture Fine/ Above Not all igneous rocks look alike. Cooling rate and mineral composition Light color = ________ __________ (felsic) Dark color= ________ (mafic rocks) The longer it takes magma to cool, the larger the crystals (demo) Coarse/ Below

  12. Formation: • Weird Science Fact • Some igneous rocks form from cooling on the surface, but some form ___________________. • Intrusive rock –igneous rock that formed when magma hardened beneath Earth’s surface. • –Larger Crystals! • –The most abundant intrusive rock in the part of the crust makes up the continents is granite. • Graniteforms the core of many mountain ranges.

  13. Origin–where Extrusive are formed • –Extrusive rock–igneous rock formed from lava that erupted onto Earth’s surface. • –Smaller Crystals! • –The most common extrusive rock is basalt. Look at the rock in the tray. • Basalt forms much of the crust, including the crust beneath the ocean floor. What about obsidian?

  14. Comparing and Contrasting • •Materials -granite and basalt • •Which parts of the Earth’s crust are composed mostly of one or the other of these igneous rocks? • •Basalt -ocean floor • •Granite -continents

  15. Uses of Igneous Rocks Basalt/Gravel • •Hard, dense, and durable • •Through history -tools and building materials • •Can you think of some uses? Pumice/ Exfoliation Obsidian/Tools Granite/ Egyptian Statues

  16. LAB Summary • Now, let’s complete our lab data analysis and our conclusion. Let’s compare our knowledge to what we saw yesterday!

  17. LAB Conclusion • Conclusion: (Complete the following sentence starters in your OWN paragraph) • The data states… 10 • My data ________________ (supports/does not support) my hypothesis. 10 • My conclusion is… 10 (What happens to substances during igneous rock (fudge) formation)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxbmvG5gpAs
