Vocabulary Review

  • Mineral: natural, solid substance that has a definite chemical composition and physical structure

  • Magma: melted rock within the earth

  • Igneous Rock: forms when magma is pushed up from the mantle into the cool crust and hardens into rock

  • Lava: Magma that reaches the surface

Type answer...

49

Obsidian is an example of an extrusive rock. Because it cooled and hardened quickly, extrusive rocks have a fine grained texture.

media

50

Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. Because they cool slowly, the crystals are large giving these rocks a coarse texture.
