THE REALM OF IGNEOUS
AND METAMORPHI
C ROCKS
A Fundamental Dilemma to the Study of Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks and the Processes that Create
ThemACCESS

IGNEOUS PETROLOGY“Study of Rocks formed by the Crystallization of
Magma”
What do we want to know about magma?
What do we want to know about crystallization processes?
How do we study igneous rocks to address these questions?

COMPOSITION OF THE EARTHHow Do We Know?
- Mantle Xenoliths
- Seismic Data
- Density Constraints
- Meteorites- stony ~mantle- iron ~core- chondrites ~whole earth

Plate Tectonics drives Two Stages of Crust-makingPlate Tectonics drives Two Stages of Crust-making1. Mantle partially melts to make ocean crust2. Ocean crust melts to make continental crust
