Igneous RocksClassification based on composition and texture.
COMPOSITIONPrincipally the rock-forming minerals
OlivinePyroxenesAmphibolesMicasFeldsparsQuartz
Constitute 95% of minerals in ALL igneous rocks.

COMPOSITION
You can determine basic igneous rock compositionjust by the COLOR of the rock.
DARK COLORED igneous rocks = MAFIC
LIGHT COLORED igneous rocks = FELSIC
GRAY COLORED igneous rocks = INTERMEDIATE
Color allows an approximation of igneous rock composition
Related to Bowen’s Reaction Series(red vs. green)

TEXTURE
TEXTURE reflects cooling rate of magma or lava.
SLOW COOLING = LARGE Crystals
RAPID COOLING = SMALL Crystals
SLOW COOLING = PLUTONIC
RAPID COOLING = VOLCANIC

Metamorphic RocksRocks are fundamentally changed by HEAT and/or
PRESSUREMay be derived from ANY pre-existing rock type
CLASSIFICATIONbased on the presence or absence of FOLIATION
FOLIATION is the parallel alignment of the tabularminerals (micas and clay minerals) and by varying degrees of banding.
