Lesson
Igneous Rocks: How Are
1 They Formed?
Have you tried mountain climbing? Did you notice different rocks in the mountain
trail? Do they look the same? Do they have different colors? Do they have crystals?
Do they undergo same process of formation? Some of you might think that all rocks
are just the same, however if we study it thoroughly, you will be surprised that they
are different in terms of their formation, physical and chemical characteristics.
In your previous lesson, you already learned that rocks can be classified as igneous,
sedimentary, and metamorphic. For this module, we will be focusing on igneous
rocks and how they are formed.

What is It
What are igneous rocks?

Igneous rocks are one of the three major categories of rocks. The word igneous is
derived from the Latin word for fire, ignis or ignus.
These rocks are commonly found in the surface and beneath the Earth, specifically
in divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, subduction zones and hotspots. Not
all igneous rocks have the same physical and chemical characteristics. They differ in
the origin, process of formation, color, density, size of grains, crystals and many
more.
How are igneous rocks formed?

Igneous rocks are formed through the process of solidification and crystallization
of molten rocks; magma and lava. When hot, molten rocks reach the surface of the
earth, they undergo changes in temperature and pressure causing them to cool,
solidify and crystallize. Moreover, there are also solidification and crystallization
magma beneath the earth.
What are the types of igneous rocks based on their formation?

In terms of formation, igneous rocks can be classified into two: intrusive and
extrusive rocks. Below is the comparison of these two types.

Point of Comparison Intrusive Rocks Extrusive Rocks

Other terminology plutonic rocks volcanic rocks

These are some examples of intrusive and extrusive rocks.

Figure 2. Examples of Extrusive Rocks
What are the types of igneous rocks based on composition?

Igneous rocks can also be classified according to their composition. They are
composed of SiO2 or silica. Not all igneous rocks have the same silica content. If
there is oversaturation of silica in the magma, its minerals will precipitate. On the
other hand, if there is undersaturation of silica in the magma, its minerals will not
precipitate and will not be present in the igneous rocks. The viscosity of magma is
also affected because of silica content.
There are four classifications of igneous rocks based on silica content: ultramafic,
mafic, intermediate and felsic.
1. Ultramafic Igneous Rocks
• They have a very low silica content; less than 45% of SiO2.
• Before forming into igneous rocks, its magma has very low viscosity.
• Its color is ranged too black (peridotite) to olive green (dunite).
• Their density is very high.
• They are rich in pyroxene and olivine minerals.
• Examples of these rocks are peridotite and dunite.
7
2. Mafic Igneous Rocks
• They have a low silica content; 45-52% of SiO2.
• Before forming into igneous rocks, its magma has low viscosity; more
viscous than ultramafic magma.
• They have black color.
• Their density is high.
• They are composed of pyroxene, calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar
• Examples of these rocks are gabbro and basalt.
3. Intermediate Igneous Rocks

• They have a high silica content; 53-65% of SiO2.
• Before forming into igneous rocks, its magma has intermediate
viscosity; more viscous than the mafic magma.
• Their color is gray.
• Their density is intermediate.
• They are composed of biotite, alkali feldspar and quartz.
• Examples of these rocks are diorite and andesite.
4. Felsic Igneous Rocks
• They have a very high silica content; more than 65% of SiO2
• Before forming into igneous rocks, its magma has high viscosity; more
viscous than the intermediate magma.
• They have light color.
• Their density is very low.
• They are composed of quartz and alkali feldspar.

• Examples of these rocks are granite and rhyolite.

Figure 3. Differences of Igneous Rocks based on Composition
Based on the illustration, you will notice the differences of these four classifications
of igneous rocks in terms of their color. Ultramafic has the darkest color and felsic
has the lightest color. To sum, the higher the silica content is, the lighter its color
while the lower the silica content is, the darker its color. Thus, amount of silica
affects the color of the rocks.

Figure 4. Differences of Igneous Rocks based on Composition
MODULES FROM CENTRAL OFFICE in Relation to Silica Content and Temperature
This is another illustration showing the differences of ultramafic, mafic, intermediate

and felsic igneous rocks; rock types, kind and percentage of minerals; percentage of
silica content; and ranges of temperature.
Felsic has the highest silica content while ultramafic has the lowest silica content.
On the other hand, felsic is exposed to 700 degree Celsius and ultramafic is exposed
to 1200 degree Celsius. It means when igneous rock is exposed to extreme high
temperature, its color is darker, while if it is exposed to lower temperature, its color
is light.
What are the types of igneous rocks based on texture?

Igneous rocks have different textures. Texture of a rock is the size and arrangement
of the minerals it contains.
• Phaneritic texture – Rocks have large minerals (example: granite)

• Aphanitic texture- The mineral grains are too small to see with the unaided
eye (example: basalt)
• Vesicular texture – Rocks have many pits from gas escape (example: basalt)
• Porphyritic texture – Rocks have two (2) distinct grain sizes, large and small
(example: andesite porphyry)
• Glassy texture- Rocks do have obvious minerals (example: obsidian)
