Igneous Rocks

 

Igneous Rocks: How Are They Formed?

Igneous Rocks. Also known as "Fire Rock" these type of rock are the most common rock on the earth's surface 

Igneous Rocks form from the solidification of Magma, which is hot (600 to 1,300 °C, or 1,100 to 2,400 °F) molten or partially molten rock material and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot pots, then rises toward the surface. 

Metamorphic rocks

 Metamorphic rocks form when rocks put through to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, common conditions like these factors are found deep within the Earth or where tectonic plates meet. 

How are they form

- Metamorphic rocks do not melt. Metamorphic rocks Transform them into murky, more compact rocks. New minerals are created by rearranging of mineral components. Metamorphic rocks are often squished, smeared out, and folded. 

* Metamorphic rocks are formed by the effect of heat and pressure on existing rocks 

*This can greatly affect the hardness, texture, or layer patterns of the rocks

Rock Types in NZ

New Zealand's Rocks

New Zealand rocks are mainly mapped in terms of their age of formation and their rock type. In addition, the older rocks that form New Zealand’s geological basement are also divided in terms of their position relative to an ancient, now inactive tectonic plate boundary that bisects South Island and North Island. This boundary formed along the edge of Gondwanaland. The rock divisions, therefore, have overlapping ages. 

• main geological rock types in New Zealand:
• *Youngest sediments.
• *Young volcanic rocks.
• *Sedimentary cover rocks.
• *Eastern greywacke basement.
• *Eastern schist basement.
• *Central volcanic sedimentary basement.
• *Western metamorphic and sedimentary basement.
• *Granite and other intrusives.
