GEOL 1304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Igneous Rock, Plate Tectonics, Compact Car
Document Summary
Mineral - inorganic, natural compound , speci c chem formula rock - mass of minerals. Magma is upwelling, plates are being thrust apart = oceanic earth"s crust is newer. Magma - below pulverization lava - above ground. The liquidity pith moving around the solid nitty-gritty ; no real answer. Oceanic and continental plate meet, due to the density remainder the oceanic plate goes under the continental one and then it remelts and becomes magma. Sorted by density, seismic action , waves re ect differently depending on what layer it bounces rear from. Sedimentary - deposit , routine of other rocks, atom have to go through lithi cation to harden and compact car. Chemical and physical change in the rocks, due to intense rut and pressure. Igneous - solidify from magma, beneath the surface (intrusive), or can solidify from lave, above the surface (extrusive) faster they cool = smaller the crystallization.
