Igneous rocks

Igneous rocks

Brennan

These are some interesting facts about igneous rocks.

Igneous rocks are liquid minerals, which have been crystallized.  The crystals from the liquid rock connect like a jigsaw puzzle, which crystallizes into igneous rock.  

Lava cooled instantly form natural glass.  Glass is disordered atoms frozen so no crystals form.  Glass is part of many igneous rocks (e.g., lava flows),and pyroclastic igneous rocks.  

Some  igneous rocks form during volcanic eruption.  Eruptions eject molten igneous rocks, partially molten, and non-molten rock.  The material solidifies into hard mass called pyroclastic igneous rock.

Rocks with a fast cooling history are called fine-textured igneous rocks.  Slow cooling (which usually occurs deep underground) promotes large crystals.  Rocks with slow cooling history are called coarse-textured igneous rocks.

The texture of the rock (defined as the size of crystals in the rock) is related to the cooling rate.Rapid cooling menes the formation of small crystals, which are too small for the naked eye to see.  Slow cooling (which usually occurs deep underground) promotes large crystals.

The armor of god

The Armor of God 

Ephesians 6:10-17

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.     17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
