Rock Cycle
is a basic concept in
geology that describes
transitions through
geologic time among the
three main rock types:
sedimentary,
metamorphic, and
igneous.

From Molten Materials to Rocks
 Metamorphic rocks formed when
preexisting rocks are exposed to high
temperature and pressure but remain
solid. However, when they subjected
to extreme pressure and temperature,
melting occurs.
This produces molten rocks called
magma.
The molten rocks that have
crystallized become igneous rocks.
Activity 1: Picture Analysis
 Observe the picture of
Mount Mayon and answer
the following:
 Give three (3) descriptions
about the picture.
 What is the material being
extruded by Mount
Mayon? Where do you
think did this material
come from?
What is Magma?
Magma is composed of semi-
liquid hot molten rocks located
beneath the Earth, specifically
in the melted mantle rock and
oceanic plate. This molten
state, when solidified, creates
igneous rocks found on the
surface of the Earth.
What is Magma?
Magma and lava are both
molten rocks. However, they
differ in location. Magma is
found inside the magma
chamber of the volcano
while Lava is found on the
surface of earth once the
volcano erupts.
What is Magmatism?
-is a process under the earth’s
crust where formation and
movement of magma occur.
-These happen in the lower
part of the Earth’s crust and in
the upper portion of the
mantle, known as
asthenosphere.
Composition of Magma
Guide Questions:
1. Which of the following
elements has the highest
amount in the magma?
2. Which of the following
elements has the lowest
amount in the magma? 3.
What are the top two
compositions of magma?
THREE TYPES OF MAGMA
1. Basaltic Magma- it is the
most common magma on
earth. It is characterized
by its low silica content,
high temperature, low
viscosity, and low gas
content
THREE TYPES OF MAGMA
2. Rhyolitic Magma- has high
silica content, low
temperature, very high
viscosity and high content of
gas
THREE TYPES OF MAGMA
3. Andesitic Magma- a
magma with the properties of
that are between basaltic and
rhyolitic magma
The magma present in the lower
crust and upper mantle of the
Earth is formed or generated
through the process of partial
melting. In this process, different
minerals in rock melt at different
temperature and pressure.
How is Magma formed?
Another factor being considered
in this process is the addition of
volatile materials such as water
and carbon dioxide..

Melting in the mantle requires one of
three possible events to occur:
1. AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE:
Conduction in mantle happens when
heat is transferred from hotter molten
rocks to the Earth’s cold crust. This
process is known as heat transfer. It
happens at convergent boundaries,
where tectonic plates are crashing
together.

Melting in the mantle requires one of three
possible events to occur:
2. A DECREASE OF PRESSURE: Mantle rocks
remain solid when exposed to high pressure.
However, during convection, these rocks tend
to go upward and the pressure is reduced.
This triggers the melting of magma. This is
known as decompression melting. This
process occurs at the Mid-Ocean Ridge, an
underwater mountain system.

Melting in the mantle requires one of three
possible events to occur:
3. ADDITION OF VOLATILES: When water or
carbon dioxide is added to hot rocks, flux
melting occurs. The melting points of
minerals within the rocks decrease. If a rock is
already close to its melting point, the effect of
adding these volatiles can be enough to
trigger partial melting. It occurs around
subduction zones.

VOLCANISM
 It refers to the processes and
phenomena associated with
the eruption of (molten
magma)
 The eruption of molten rock
from inside the Earth to the
surface.
 It’s occurring because of
Earth’s internal heat, and is
associated with tectonic
processes and a part of rock
Three Types of Rocks
 IGNEOUS ROCKS
formed from hardening and
crystallization of magma or molten
material that originates deep within the
earth.
 Latin (ignis)
means fire
Three Types of Rocks
 IGNEOUS ROCKS
- Crystallization- is the process of the
formation and growth of individual mineral
crystals.
Two types of Igneous rock
A. Extrusive/Volcanic rock - forms when
magma makes its way to Earth’s surface as
lava and then cools. The crystals are very
small (fine grained) since the cooling
process is fast.
Two types of Igneous rock
B. Intrusive/Plutonic - It cools slowly
beneath the Earth surface and are created
by magma. The intrusive igneous rocks
have very large crystals (coarse grained).
Classification of Igneous rock
1. Composition
FELSIC - light in color; feldspar and silicates
MAFIC - dark in color; made up of
magnesium and iron
INTERMEDIATE – between mafic and felsic
ULTRAMAFIC - very dark color
Classification of Igneous rock
2. Texture- overall appearance of rock
Aphanitic - fine grained
Phaneritic- coarse grained
Porphyritic- large crystals with small
crystals
Glassy- non-ordered solid from rapid
quenching
Pyroclastic- composite of ejected fragments
