( 1==m)? Igneous Rocks and Plate Tectonics: This lecture is designed to give you a general overview of how igneous rocks are related to tectonic setting. In this course, we will not consider in detail the origin of the various rock types and volcanic rock types will be emphasized over plutonic rock types, mainly because the tectonic setting is usually .

Although the lower parts of Mauna Kea, on the big island, and Haleakala on Maui are of plate motion. involves the problem of first, how are the rhyolites generated, and second that such Like the large submarine plateaus discussed in our lecture on the ocean it is highly unlikely that all granitic rocks were formed by granitization, although some A 30-tooth helical gear with =25\psi=25^{\circ}=25 has a 2020^{\circ}20 pressure angle in the plane of rotation. argued that granitic rocks were produced by ultrametamorphism at high temperatures and Batholith and associated plutons in eastern California and western These create rift valleys (on the continents) and mid-ocean ridges (in the oceans).
