GEOLOGY
Subject: Engineering geology and rock mechanics Igneous rock is a rock type that originated from the cooling of magma. Their featuresdepend on the chemistry and the environment of which they were formed. Based on thestatement given, answer the following questions. a) Differentiate the main features (texture and grain size) of the intrusive and extrusiveigneous rock? b) Explain the differences of light and dark colour igneous rock in terms of their silicacontent. c) Relate the classification of igneous rocks to Bowen’s reaction series. d) List and explain on how to identify the two (2) important minerals present in granite.
1.)This type of rock is formed by the process of changing the composition and texture of rocks (without melting) by heat and pressure. 2.) What is the term for the soil particle with microscopic soil fractions that consist of very fine quartz grains and some flake-shaped particles that are fragments of micaceous minerals.
