Igneous rocks: Composition | Introduction to Earth systems | meriSTEM

Tiah Penny from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) introduces the composition of igneous rocks as a part of a series of educational videos on the rock cycle.

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Introduction to Earth systems'.

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors:
Rocks are composed of characteristic assemblages of mineral crystals or grains that are formed through igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic processes, as part of the rock cycle (ACSES019).
