The first rocks on Earth were igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material called magma. The word igneous comes from the Latin word ignis, meaning "fire." There are two types of igneous rocks: intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form ...

“The ‘stomp’ is this whole kilometer-thick chunk of rock dropping down, pressurizing the pocket, and then forcing material directly up,” Crozier said. And the ‘rocket’ is, of course, the gas and rocks erupting from the volcano. Caldera collapse is fairly common, Crozier notes. So ...
The composition and origin of Earth’s earliest continental crust remains enigmatic due to the absence of Hadean (>4 Ga) age rocks. Here we address this question by using machine learning to examine the provenance of the 4.4–3.3 Ga Jack Hills zircons
This arc-continent collision resulted in southward emplacement of magmatic and underlying ultramafic rocks in the forearc region to form the ophiolite on Timor and Moa17,29. We report zircon U-Pb age and whole-rock geochemical data from magmatic rocks of the Timor ophiolite. These include 10-...

hydrocarbon-generating rocks, the middle part is well-permeable glutenites as the Cu-Pb-Zn reservoir, and the overlying layer is a sealed cap formed by gypsum rocks and mudstones, showing the ore-forming characteristics of co-enrichment of Cu-Pb-Zn-Uranium-coal-natural gas in the same basin...
Limestone is a very common type of sedimentary rock. Rocks come in three types: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Sedentary rock forms from deposits of small particles and other debris, usually from the Earth's surface or bodies of water. Limestone can be formed in two ways: biologically ...
