Key Concept
Igneous rocks are classified according to their origin, texture,
and mineral composition.

Igneous rock may form on or below Earth’s surface.
Where igneous rock forms is its origin.

Extrusive rock is igneous rock that forms on
Earth’s surface, when lava cools.

Lava cools quickly, forming small crystals. As a result,
extrusive rock has a smooth texture. The most common
extrusive rock is basalt.

Intrusive rock is igneous rock that forms below Earth’s surface, when
magma cools.
![Page 8: Igneous rock is rock that forms from magma or lava.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/568162ba550346895dd343be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Magma cools slowly, forming big crystals. As a result, intrusive rock
has a rough texture. The most common intrusive
rock is granite.

At an elevation of 14,505 ft., Mt. Whitney reaches the highest peak in the conterminous United States, and like much of the Sierra Nevada, it consists of Cretaceous granodiorite, a rock intermediate in composition between granite and diorite.

Igneous rocks differ in how much silica they
contain. Silica is a material formed from oxygen and silicon.
![Page 11: Igneous rock is rock that forms from magma or lava.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/568162ba550346895dd343be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
From left to right, these rocks are arranged in order of decreasing silica content: granite, diorite, and gabbro.

Low-silica rocks, such as basalt, are dark-colored
rocks.
High-silica rocks, such as granite, are light-colored rocks.

Why do intrusive rocks have a rough texture?
a. Intrusive rocks have big crystals.b. Intrusive rocks form quickly.c. Intrusive rocks form from lava.

contains a lot of ?
silica

Key Concept:
People throughout history have used
igneous rock for tools and building materials.
![Page 17: Igneous rock is rock that forms from magma or lava.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081507/568162ba550346895dd343be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Igneous rocks have several uses. Examples of useful igneous rocks
are granite, pumice, and obsidian.

Granite is very hard and dense. Granite has long been used for buildings
and bridges. Today, granite is also used for curbstones and kitchen
counters.

Pumice is very rough. Pumice is used for
cleaning and polishing.

Obsidian is sharp and smooth like glass. Obsidian was used by ancient native Americans to make knives
and other sharp tools.

knives and other sharp tools is
