Earth Materials
• All Earth materials are composed of atoms bound together.
• Minerals are composed of atoms bonded together and are the building blocks of rocks.
• Rocks are composed of minerals and they record various geologic processes.

Rock Types
Rocks are naturally occurring solid aggregates of minerals, or in some cases, non-mineral solid matter.
Identity is determined by:

Metamorphic mineral assembalges (for mafic rocks)
Facies Definitive Mineral Assemblage in Mafic Rocks
Zeolite zeolites: especially laumontite, wairakite, analcime
Prehnite-Pumpellyite prehnite + pumpellyite (+ chlorite + albite)
Greenschist chlorite + albite + epidote (or zoisite) + quartz ± actinolite
Amphibolite hornblende + plagioclase (oligoclase-andesine) ± garnet
Granulite orthopyroxene (+ clinopyrixene + plagioclase ± garnet ±
hornblende)
Blueschist glaucophane + lawsonite or epidote (+albite ± chlorite)
Eclogite pyrope garnet + omphacitic pyroxene (± kyanite)
Contact Facies
After Spear (1993)
Table 25-1. Definitive Mineral Assemblages of Metamorphic Facies
Mineral assemblages in mafic rocks of the facies of contact meta-
morphism do not differ substantially from that of the corresponding
regional facies at higher pressure.

Igneous Rocks - classification
Textures:
Aphanitic: crystals too small to see by eye
Phaneritic: can see the constituent minerals
Fine grained- < 1 mm diameter
Medium grained- 1-5 mm diameter
Coarse grained- 5-50 mm diameter
Very coarse grained- > 50 mm
diameter
Porphyritic: bimodal grain size distribution
Glassy: no crystals formed
Idealized rates of crystal nucleation and growth as a function of temperature below the melting point. Slow cooling results in only minor undercooling (Ta), so that rapid growth and slow nucleation produce fewer coarse-grained crystals. Rapid cooling permits more undercooling (Tb), so that slower growth and rapid nucleation produce many fine-grained crystals. Very rapid cooling involves little if any nucleation or growth (Tc) producing a glass.

Intrusive rocks
Porphyry
Pyroclasts
Extrusive rocks
Volcanic ash Bomb PumiceExtrusive pyroclasts form in violent eruptions from lavain the air.
Mafic Felsic
Basalt RhyoliteExtrusive igneous rocks cool rapidly and are fine-grained.
Gabbro Granite Intrusive igneous rocks cool slowly, allowing large, coarse crystals to form.
Phenocrysts
Porphyry
Some phenocrysts grow large, but theremaining melt cools faster, forming smaller crystals during an eruption.

Volcanology
Magmas form today in four
distinct tectonic environments:
• Mid-ocean ridges
• Continental rift systems (e.g.
East African rift)
• Subduction zones (e.g. circum-
Pacific belt)
• Intraplate settings Oceanic (e.g.
Hawaii and other ocean islands)
isolated continental volcanoes
(e.g Mt. Cameroon)

− There are two types of eruptions in terms of activity:
Effusive eruptions – outpouring of lava
Explosive eruptions – gas-driven explosions
