2. Intrusive rocks have been formed by the cooling of rocks of Earth’s crust. False.
Extrusive igneous rocks have been formed from lava flows which come from
fissures to the surface.
1. Have igneous rocks crystallized from magma or have they been formed by
sedimentation?
The largest bodies of igneous rocks are called batholiths. Batholiths cooled very
slowly. This slow cooling permitted large mineral grains to form.
They occur in numerous veins which usually cut through other plutonites, most
often granite, or adjacent rocks.
Igneous rocks are rich in minerals that are important economically or have great
scientific value.

1. Generally speaking, metamorphic rocks have been developed from ores. False.
Metamorphic rocks have been developed from earlier igneous and sedimentary
rocks by the action of heat and pressure.
2. Marble, slate and phyllite belong to the group of metamorphic rocks. True.
Gneisses, mica schists, phyllites, marries, slate, quartz, etc. belong to the same
group of rocks.
3. As is known, unlike granite metamorphic rocks have a schistose structure. True.
However unlike granite, they have a schistose structure.
6. Flaky materials cause the rock to split into thin sheets. True.
These minerals cause the rock to split into thin sheets, and rocks become foliated.
7. It should be noted that marble and quartzite are foliated metamorphic rocks.
False.
Marble and quartzite are non-foliated metamorphic rocks.
8. The structure of metamorphic rocks shows the nature of older pre-existing rocks
and the mechanism of metamorphic deformation as well. True.
Slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss belong to the group of foliated metamorphic
rocks. Marble and quartzite are non-foliated metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks have been developed from earlier igneous and sedimentary
rocks by the action of heat and pressure.
Gneisses, mica schists, phyllites, marries, slate, quartz, etc. belong to the group of
metamorphic rocks.
Having the same mineral composition as granite, gneisses consist chiefly of quartz,
orthoclase and mica.
5. What rocks do we call foliated? What can you say about non-foliated
metamorphic rocks?
Slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss belong to the group of foliated metamorphic
rocks. Marble and quartzite are non-foliated metamorphic rocks.
Geologists can trace the original structure of metamorphic rocks by the nature of
pre-existing rocks and the mechanism of metamorphic deformation.
