The role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rock is extremely important. Igneous rock is formed from magma that reaches the continental and oceanic crust or through hot spots that are around the world. There are three different places where igneous rocks can form; where the lithospheric

A joint is defined as a fracture in a rock between the sides of which there is no observable relative movement. They are present is most consolidated rocks of igneous‚ metamorphic and sedimentary origin. Joints may form as a result of either diastrophism or contraction.

The purpose of this paper is to propose an annual rock climbing training “action” plan (macrocycle) for teaching and developing a young athlete through the use of an integrated neuromuscular training program with three “periodization” mesocycles (4 months) in a distributed block framework paralleling Fitts’ three stages of learning. This plan will focus on developing the core six components of INT which are dynamic stabilization‚ coordination‚ strength‚ plyometrics‚ speed/agility‚ and fatigue resistance

About the Igneous rocks: The Igneous rocks are the oldest type of rocks among all. The word "Igneous" comes from a Greek word which means fire. In the deepest part of the Earth‚ the minerals are found in a liquid form‚ which is known as magma. When the magma pushes towards the surface of the Earth‚ it starts to get cool and converts into the solid Igneous rocks. The formation of Igneous Rocks: The Igneous rocks are known as the fire rocks and these are generally formed underground or above the

Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks originate from deep within the Earth’s crust. Igneous rocks (from the Greek word for fire) are formed when magma crystallizes and solidifies. An increase in temperature‚ a change in the composition‚ or decrease in the pressure can cause melting of these rocks in the mantle which form igneous rocks. The melt begins deep below the surface of the Earth close to active plate boundaries. As the temperate increases the rocks rise toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided
