    Chapter 10 Volcanoes and Other Igneous Activity

    Section 10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity


    This section explains how to classify intrusive igneous features and describes
    where magma comes from.

    Reading Strategy
    Comparing and Contrasting After you read, compare the types of
    plutons by completing the table. For more information on this Reading
    Strategy, see the Reading and Study Skills in the Skills and
    Reference Handbook at the end of your textbook.

    Types of Plutons Description


    Sill a. pluton formed parallel with sedimentary rocks, commonly horizontal

    Laccolith b. similar to a sill, but forms a lens-shaped mass that pushes the
    overlying strata upward
    Dike c. pluton that cuts across the preexisting rocks

    Batholith d. largest intrusive igneous body with a surface exposure of over 100 km2

    Plutons
    1. Select the appropriate letter in the diagram that identifies each
    of the following igneous intrusive features.

    C sill A
    D batholith
    A laccolith
    B dike B

    2. Is the following sentence true or


    false? Plutons can be studied on
    Earth’s surface as they form.
    false

    3. What three characteristics are used to classify intrusive igneous


    bodies? shape, size, relationship to the surrounding rock layers

    Match each way plutons formed with the pluton type.


    How Formed Pluton
    d 4. when magma from a large a. sill
    magma chamber invades fractures b. laccolith
    in the surrounding rocks
    c. batholith
    c 5. when a large intrusive igneous
    d. dike
    body of greater than 100 km2
    accumulates and becomes exposed
    b 6. when magma is injected
    between sedimentary layers close
    to Earth’s surface and collects as a
    lens-shaped mass
    a 7. when magma is injected along
    sedimentary bedding surfaces close
    to Earth’s surface
    Origin of Magma
    8. Is the following sentence true or false? Magma forms when
    solid rock in the crust and upper mantle partially melts.
    true

    9. Circle the letter of one way magma is generated.

    a. The confining pressure of rocks is increased.


    b. The water content of rocks is reduced.
    c. The temperature of rocks is lowered below their melting
    points.
    d. The temperature of rocks is raised above their melting points.

    10. The rate at which temperature changes with depth below Earth’s
    surface is called the geothermal gradient .

    11. How is decompression melting of rocks triggered? when the confining


    pressure of the rocks drops enough

    Wet rock buried at depth has a much lower


    12.
    melting temperature than does dry rock of the
    same composition and under the same pressure.
