Magma: molten rock + volatiles beneath the
Earth’s surface.
Lava: molten rock on the Earth’s surface
that has lost at least some of its volatiles.
Magma is usually silicate in composition:
~50-70 wt% SiO2
The rest is made up of Al2O3, Fe2O3, FeO,
Na2O MgO, K2O, CaO, P2O5, TiO2
A continuous range of magma chemistries
is observed.

Partial Melting
Rocks rarely melt to 100%.
Rocks contain several minerals – the one
with the lowest melting point melts first and
that with the highest melts last.
Liquid may be removed along grain
boundaries.
This can create a magma of a different
composition than the source material.

General Rules
Felsic = light-colored (Si-, Al-, alkali-rich).
Ultramafic and Mafic = dark-colored (Fe, Mg,
Ca rich, ferromagnesian mineral-rich).
Magmatic temperatures range from ~600˚C to
>1,500˚C.
![Page 13: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Exception that Proves the Rule - Obsidian
Obsidian = felsic (quenched glass), but black.

General Textures & Crystallization
Rate of crystallization dictates mineral size:
slow cooling = large crystals; fast cooling =
small crystals or a quench glass.
![Page 15: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
General Textures
Extruded or erupted magmas or shallowly emplaced magma
bodies cool quickly many small, interlocking crystals with
some interstitial quench glass.
Intrusions of magma deeper within the crust are insulated.
Although the margin of the magma next to the wallrock is chilled
(small grain size) and the wallrock is baked, the interior of the
magma cools much more slowly = large grain size (phaneritic).
Deep intrusive igneous rocks are give the generic term “plutonic”.

Textural Terms APHANITIC: individual crystals are so small they cannot be
discerned with the naked eye. Common in eruptive and shallow
intrusive igneous rocks.
![Page 20: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PHANERITIC: crystals can be seen, common in interiors
of thick flows and deeper intrusions.
Textural Terms
![Page 21: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PORPHYRITIC:
large crystal
(PHENOCRYSTS) in
a fine-grained
groundmass. Reflects
two cooling stages –
slow cooling (in a
magma chamber) to
form the phenocrysts,
followed by rapid
cooling as would occur
upon eruption.
Textural Terms
![Page 22: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Textural Terms
PEGMATITIC: contains very large
(cm-size) crystals.
![Page 23: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Crystal Shapes
EUHEDRAL: well-
formed crystals with
many crystal faces
developed.
![Page 24: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Crystal Shapes
SUBHEDRAL: crystals with only a few
crystal faces developed.
![Page 25: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Crystal Shapes ANHEDRAL: crystals with no crystal faces
developed.
![Page 26: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Magma Viscosity
Magma viscosity is dependent upon
composition and temperature:
Mafic << Felsic
Hot << Cool
Silica affects viscosity because of poly-
merization or linking of SiO2 tetrahedra.
The more silica-rich the more felsic the
magma is and the stickier it is.
![Page 27: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Magma Viscosity All magmas contain gases, but felsic magmas are
generally more gas-rich - explosive.
When gases escape, can form vesicular lavas,
e.g., vesicular basalt:
![Page 28: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Pumice = “froth” = felsic.
![Page 29: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Intrusive Rocks Intrude older rocks (generically known as
“countyrock” – can be igneous, sedimentary, or
metamorphic) and bake them = contact
metamorphism.
![Page 30: 5th Meeting (Igneous II)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051821/55cf92e8550346f57b9a506b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Intrusive rocks recognized by:
Intrusive Rocks
Coarse grain size, interlocking crystals, typically
lacking a fabric (oriented texture).
Baked contacts (country rock) and chill zone
(finer grain size) at the edges of the intrusion.
Inclusions of country rock = “xenoliths”.
They cross-cut features in the country rock.
Veins protrude outward into country rock.

How to distinguish a sill from a flow:
• baked contacts above and below;
• vesicles (gas bubbles) in flow often
filled in with flows;
• smaller dikes present above sill
intruding the overlying countryrock.
