DetailsIgneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided into two groups, intrusive or extrusive, depending upon where the molten rock solidifies.Intrusive Igneous …

DetailsMetamorphic rocks, meta- meaning change and – morphos meaning form, is one of the three rock categories in the rock cycle (see Chapter 1 ). Metamorphic rock material has been changed by temperature, pressure, and/or fluids. The rock cycle shows that both igneous and sedimentary rocks can become metamorphic rocks.
DetailsExamples of intrusive igneous rocks are: diabase, diorite, gabbro, granite, pegmatite, and peridotite. Extrusive igneous rocks erupt onto the surface, where they cool quickly to form small crystals. Some cool so quickly that they form an amorphous glass. These rocks include: andesite, basalt, dacite, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite, scoria, and tuff ...

Igneous rocks from left to right: gabbro, andesite, pegmatite, basalt, pumice, porphyry, obsidian, granite, and tuff. Molten rock material below the surface is called magma.
Details6.4 Metamorphic Environments. As with igneous processes, metamorphic rocks form at different zones of pressure (depth) and temperature as shown on the pressure-temperature (P-T) diagram.

Details6.3 Metamorphic Grade. Garnet schist. Metamorphic grade refers to the range of metamorphic change a rock undergoes, progressing from low (little metamorphic change) grade to high (significant metamorphic change) grade. Low- grade metamorphism begins at temperatures and pressures just above sedimentary rock conditions.
DetailsWhat is Basalt? By definition, basalt is a dark, fine-grained volcanic rock that sometimes displays a columnar structure. It combines the durability of granite with the consistent coloring and subtlety of limestone. It lines most of the ocean floor surfaces around the world. Basalt was used to build streets and stadiums in ancient Rome.
