Igneous Rocks
Across
- 3. Common type of volcanic glass with felsic composition
- 4. Small crystals, grew rapidly near the surface in the upper crust
- 6. Rocks made when magma and lava cool and crystallize
- 8. Extrusive Volcanic rock from green to black found on many volcanic islands, which is why the upper oceanic crust is also this element
- 9. Coarse grained intrusive rocks of high silicates that grew slowly. This also uplifts the mountains and helps with weathering
- 12. Has large noticeable vesicles that has is easily able to escape
- 15. Matrix of larger crystals in the porphyritic texture
- 16. Emitted from volcanos when magma reaches the Earth’s surface
- 17. More granitic rocks, light silicates found in continental crust
- 18. Openings in the rock that show the direction the lava went through. This grew rapidly enough to expand gas bubbles
- 19. Almost entirely dense mafic igneous rocks
- 20. Solidify deep beneath the Earth’s surface
- 21. Rocks that solidify at Earths surface
- 24. A resulting rock between larger crystals and smaller crystals
Down
- 1. Melting of rocks in Earth’s mantle
- 2. Large masses of magma that grew slowly and formed larger crystals
- 5. Similar to granite except it is extrusive and grew faster near the surface of the Earth. Found in Yellow Stone National Park
- 7. Medium gray extrusive rock found in volcanic areas and is fine grained
- 10. Intermediate composition of granitic and basaltic composition, has at least 25 percent dark silicates
- 11. Made of olivine and pyroxene, main element in the upper mantle
- 13. Found in the oceanic crust, and is coarse grained and intrusive
- 14. Cooled fast, and random ions that stay in place
- 15. Angular blocks of glass that had fragments remaining hot enough to fuse together
- 22. Equivalent to Andesite, but is intrusive and the crystals are not noticeable
- 23. Basaltic Chemical composition, very dark and dense. Many of these are found beneath the ocean floor
