    ELS-Q1-Week 4-Magmatism and Metamorphism

    Magma is formed through the process of partial melting in the lower crust and upper mantle of the Earth. This melting can occur due to an increase in temperature, a decrease in pressure, or the addition of volatile materials like water and carbon dioxide. Once magma reaches the surface through volcanoes, it is called lava and forms igneous rocks across the planet's surface.

    corresponding letters of
    the alphabet.

    Activity: PICTURE ANALYSIS
    What is Magma?
     Magma is composed of semi-liquid hot
    molten rocks located beneath the Earth,
    specifically in the melted mantle rock
    and oceanic plate.
     This molten state, when solidified,
    creates igneous rocks found on the
    surface of the Earth.
    Do you know the difference
    between magma and lava?
    Magma and lava are both molten rocks.
    However, they differ in location.
    Magma is found in the magma chamber
    of the volcano while lava is found on the
    surface of earth once the volcano erupts
    Magmatism is a process
    under the earth’s crust
    where formation and
    movement of magma
    occur.
    So where does these formation and
    movement take place?
     These happen in the lower part of the Earth’s
    crust and in the upper portion of the mantle,
    known as asthenosphere.
    Guide Questions:
     1. Which of the
    following elements
    has the highest
    amount in the
    magma?
     2. Which of the
    following elements
    has the lowest
    amount in the
    magma?
     3. What are the top
    two compositions of
    magma?
    How is magma formed?
     The magma present in the lower crust and
    upper mantle of the Earth is formed or
    generated through the process of partial
    melting. In this process, different minerals in
    rock melt at different temperature and
    pressure.
     Another factor being considered in this
    process is the addition of volatile materials
    such as water and carbon dioxide.
    Melting in the mantle requires one
    of three possible events to occur:
    1.AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE
    2.A DECREASE OF PRESSURE
    3.ADDITION OF VOLATILES
    Melting in the mantle requires one of
    three possible events to occur:
    1. AN INCREASE IN TEMPERATURE:
    Conduction in mantle happens when heat is
    transferred from hotter molten rocks to the
    Earth’s cold crust. This process is known as
    heat transfer.
    As magma rises, it is often hot enough to melt
    the rock it touches. It happens at convergent
    boundaries, where tectonic plates are
    crashing together.
    Melting in the mantle requires one of
    three possible events to occur:
    2. A DECREASE OF PRESSURE:
    Mantle rocks remain solid when exposed to high
    pressure. However, during convection, these
    rocks tend to go upward (shallower level) and
    the pressure is reduced. This triggers the
    melting of magma. This is known as
    decompression melting. This process occurs at
    the Mid-Ocean Ridge, an underwater mountain
    system.
    Melting in the mantle requires one of
    three possible events to occur:
    3. ADDITION OF VOLATILES:
    When water or carbon dioxide is added to
    hot rocks, flux melting occurs. The melting
    points of minerals within the rocks
    decrease. If a rock is already close to its
    melting point, the effect of adding these
    volatiles can be enough to trigger partial
    melting. It occurs around subduction
    zones.
    METAMORPHISM
     the change that takes place within a
    body of rock as a result of it being
    subjected to conditions that are
    different from those in which it is
    formed.
     It is from the Greek word “meta”
    means change and “morphe” means
    form.
    Directions. The box in the left side contains important words which may or
    may not be associated to metamorphic process. Identify words which are
    related to the said process by choosing it from that box and write it on the
    opposite box.
