magmatic rocksZedang sub-terranetectonic implicationsIn this study, we report systematically field observations, geochronology, whole-rock geochemistry and Sr-Nd-Hf isotopic dataset on the various types of magmatic rocks collected from the Zedang area. Chemically, the diabase and gabbro have a low-...
A rock that forms from magma hardening beneath the Earth's surface is known as an intrusive igneous rock. This type of rock forms when magma cools slowly deep within the Earth, allowing large crystals to grow. The slow cooling process results in rocks with a coarse-grained texture. Examples...
What happens to all of that lava once it cools down? This is where igneous rocks come into play. Igneous is a Latin word that means fire. The rocks are formed when lava or magma cools, hardens, and forms new rocks. These rocks are often strong because the minerals are tightly packed,...
Magma, molten or partially molten rock from which igneous rocks form. It usually consists of silicate liquid, although carbonate and sulfide melts occur as well. Magma migrates either at depth or to Earth’s surface and is ejected as lava. Magma may also

Igneous rock, any of various crystalline or glassy rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of magma, which is a hot (600 to 1,300 °C, or 1,100 to 2,400 °F) molten or partially molten rock. Igneous rocks constitute one of the three principal clas
Pegmatite rocks are also classified as felsic, or sialic, igneous rock. They are light-colored rocks, with extremely coarse grains. Pegmatite rock is primarily formed from continental crust and is also high in silica content. These rocks are typically formed on the outer edges of magma chambers...
Depending on how the rock formed, rocks can be igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic. Igneous Rock Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types. Igneous rock is formed by magma or lava cooling and solidifying. In either the mantle or crust of a planet, the magma ...
Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet’s mantle or crust. Typically, the melting is caused by one or more of three processes: an increase in temperature, a decrease in...
Geologists classify rocks into three main groups: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when hot molten rock, or magma, rises through the Earth's crust, then cools and solidifies. When magma slowly cools deep underground, large crystals grow inside it, creating coarse-grained ...
