ТЕКСТ А Igneous Rocks

Igneous rocks have crystallized from solidified magma..

Igneous rocks can be classified in a number of ways and one of them is based on mode of occurrence. They occur either as intrusive (below the surface) bodies or as extrusive masses solidified at the

Earth's surface. The terms "intrusive" and "extrusive" refer to the
place where rocks solidified,

The grain size of igneous rocks depends on their occurrence. The intrusive rocks generally cool more slowly than the extrusive rocks and crystallize to a larger grain size. The coarser-grained intru­sive rocks with grain size of more than O.5 mm called plutonic or abyssal are referred ito as intrusive igneous rocks because they are intruded into older pre-existing rocks. Extrusive or volcanic rocks have even fitier grains, less than 0.05 nun and are glassy.

Exposed igneous rocks are most numerous in mountain zones
for two reasons. First, the mountain belts have been zones of major
deformation. Second, uplifts in mountain belts have permitted
plutonic masses to be formed.

The largest bodies of igneous rocks are called batholiths (Fig. 2).
Batholiths cooled very slowly. This slow cooling permitted large min­
eral grains to form. It is not surprising that batholiths are composed
mainly of granitic rocks with large crystals called plutons. As is
known, granites and diorites belong ,to the group of intrusive or
plutonic rocks formed by solidification of igneous mass under the
Earth's crust. Granites sometimes form smaller masses called stocks,
when the occurrence has an irregular ihipe;but smaller dimensions
than the batholiths.

Laccoliths and sills, which are very similar, are intruded be-
tween sedimentary rocks. Sills are thin and they may be horizontal,
inclined or vertical. Laccoliths are thicker bodies and in some cases
they form mountains.

Dykes are also intrusive bodies. They ranges in JhicJmeSs from a few inches to several thousand feet. Dykes, are gerjraify much longer than they are wide. Most dykes occupy cracks and have strai&nt parallel walls. These bodies cool much more rapidly and are commonly fine-grained. For example, granite may occur 4n dykes that cut older rocks.

Pegmatites (quartz, orthoclase and mica) also belong to the
group of plutonic or intrusive rocks. They occur in numerous veins
which usually cut through other plutonites, most often granite, or
adjacent rocks.

Extrusive,igneous rocks have been formed from lava flows which come from fissures to the surface and form fields of volcanic rocks such as rhyolite, andesite, basalt, as well as volcanic ashes and dust, tuff, etc. As a rule, these rocks of volcanic on|in cool rapidly and are fine-grained. It is interesting to note that basalt is the most

ТЕКСТ Б Metamorphic Rocks

The problem discussed concerns metamorphic rocks which compose the third large family of rocks. "Metamorphic" means "changed frop". It shows that the original^ rock has been changed from its primary form to a new one. Being Subjected to, pressure, heat and chemically active fluids beneath the Earth's surface, vari­ous rocks in the Earth's crust rundergo changes in texture, in mineral corhpositioh and structure and are transformed into meta-morphic rocks. The process describeci is called metamorphism.

As is known, metamorphic rocks have been developed from ear­
lier igneous and sedimentary rocks by the action of heat and pressure.
^ Gneisses, mica schists, phyllites, marries, slate, quartz, etc.
belong to the 7sarhe group of rocks, ija'yirijj the same mineral cdni-
position as granite, gneisses consist chiefly of quartz, orthoclase
andl mica^. However uhMe granite, they have a schistose structure. It
rtfeans tjjat their constituents are Aisfnbutejdf in bands or layers and
rar^ parallel to each other in one'Direction. If 4|sjturbed jhe rock
Cleaves easily into separate plates.

The role of water in rnetamorphism is deterrnine^ by at least four v^riaDle'geologically refuted parameters: rock pressure, tempera-

ture .water pressure, and the am'oimt of water present.

? During a normal progressive metamorphism rock pressure and temperature are iriterciependent, and the amount of water and the pressure of water arejrela|e?
t^ the sediments and to the degree of metamorphism in'such a^way'tfiat, gerienBry. speaking, the low-grade metamorphic rocks are characterized by the excess of water. The medium-grade rocks defined by some deficiency of water and the high-grade metamorphic rocks are characterized by the absence of water.

Many of the metamorphic rocks -mentioned above consjst,of flaky materials such as mica and chlorite. These minerals cause the' rock to split into thin sheets, and rocks become foliated.сг-оисъи

Slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss belfcng to the group of foliated
metamorphic rocks. Marble and quartzite are non-foliated metamor­
phic rocks,

The structure of nietamo,rphic rocks is of importance because it shows the nature of i>re-existmg j;ocks and the mechanism of metamorphic deformation. Every trace ofc/6nginal structure is of great importance to geologists. It gives an opportunity of analysing the causes of its metamorphism.

128 Unit 5

Being often called crystalline schists, metamorphic rocks such asi gneisses and mica have a schistose structure. Metamorphic rocks represent the oldest portion of the Earth's crust. They are mostly found in the regions of mountain belts where great dislocations on the Earth once took place.

ТЕКСТ В

Minerals that make up rocks, are defined as inorganic sub­stances which occur naturally and have a definite chemical composi­tion and physical properties which vary within known limits.

The major properties are colour, crystal form, hardness, cleavage and others. Cleavage is one of the most diagnostically useful mineralogi-cal properties which can be found throughout the mineral.

Minerals of use to man can be grouped into two broad catego­ries: 1) metals, such as aluminium, copper, gold, silver, iron, tin, platinum, chromium, nickel, lead and zinc, and 2) non-me­tallic minerals, such as diamonds, salt, limestone, cement, sul­phur, and asbestos. When minerals occur so that they can be worked at a profit they are called ore deposits. Mineral deposits are seldom equally rich throughout.

Unit 5135

Economic minerals are those which are of economic impor­tance and include both metallic and non-metallic minerals.

Most minerals consist of several elements. Such elements are oxygen, silicon, titanium, aluminium, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium and hydrogen. They make up more than 99 per cent by weight of all the rock-forming minerals. Of these, alu­minium, iron and magnesium are industrial metals. The other metals are present in small quantities, mostly in igneous rocks.

For example, iron is one of the most abundant metals in the Earth's crust. There are three important classes of iron deposits: deposits associated with igneous rocks; residual deposits and sedi­mentary deposits. Iron deposits associated with igneous rocks are usually small but very rich bodies either of haematite or magnetite. Large concentrations have been successfully mined in Pennsylvania (the USA) and in the Russian Federation.

Residual deposits of iron minerals are formed wherever weather­ing occurs. Iron deposits formed this way are very widespread. It should be stressed that the residual deposits were among the first to be exploited by man.

Sedimentary iron deposits make up most of the world's current production.

As the essential component of every variety of steel, iron is ob­viously the most important of all industrial metals. It has played a large part in the development of our modern civilization. Iron ores are mainly used for producing cast iron, steels and ferro-alloys. From a scientific point of view, iron's most important property is that it becomes magnetized.

The magnetic iron ore is the main wealth of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (KMA). It is necessary to say that only in the last century was the secret of the unusual magnetism of enormous iron ore masses discovered underground.

Iron fields are worked by surface mining which is more eco­nomical. But the KMA is rich not only in iron ores. Its deposits contain bauxite, phosphorite, cement, sand and clays.
