Jan 8, 2015 · Introduction to Igneous Rocks. An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. A magma consists mostly of liquid rock matter, but may contain crystals of various minerals, and may contain a gas phase that may be dissolved in the liquid or may be present as a separate gas phase.
As the temperature and/or pressure increases on a body of rock we say that the rock undergoes prograde metamorphism or that the grade of metamorphism increases. Low-grade metamorphism takes place at temperatures between about 200 to 320 o C, and relatively low pressure.

By combining the sea floor spreading theory with continental drift and information on global seismicity, the new theory of Plate Tectonics became a coherent theory to explain crustal movements. Plates are composed of lithosphere, about 100 km thick, that "float" on the ductile asthenosphere.
The 32 Crystal Classes. The 32 crystal classes represent the 32 possible combinations of symmetry operations. Each crystal class will have crystal faces that uniquely define the symmetry of the class. These faces, or groups of faces are called crystal forms.
