Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. To begin‚ igneous rocks come from magma‚ and magma is related to plate tectonics. Magmas differ in composition‚ temperature and viscosity. This is a major identifier of igneous rocks‚ is that they were once molten and magma Plate tectonics are the theory that the Earth’s lithosphere‚ which is the outer rigid shell is composed of several different pieces‚ or “plates” that float on a ductile

Metamorphic rocks are the transformation of the existing rocks‚ the protolith through the process of metamorphism. The Protoliths can be the igneous rock‚ sedimentary rock or any old metamorphic rock. Due to severe heat and pressure‚ the protolithis get various chemical or physical changes. These rocks create a huge part of the Earth’s crust and these can be classified by the mineral and chemical assemblage and by the textures. Examples of the metamorphic rocks are: slate‚ gneiss‚ schist‚ marble

First off you should know what a rock cycle is. The rock cycle is a fundamental concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary‚ metamorphic‚ and igneous. Rocks make rocks. The cycle begins within the core of the earth. The molten rock in the core of the earth is called magma. Once the rock is forced to the earth’s lithosphere or crust‚ the molten rock becomes lava and thereby begins its long journey of development
