Syenite - Wikipedia
Syenites are products of alkaline igneous activity, generally formed in thick continental crustal areas, or in Cordilleran subduction zones. The formation of syenites can be theorized to be from the melt of granitic or igneous protolith to a fairly low degree of partial melting.
Syenite : Formation, Composition, Classification, Uses - Geology …
2018年4月12日 · Syenite is a coarse-grained, plutonic (intrusive) igneous rock that primarily consists of the minerals feldspar, typically orthoclase feldspar, and often includes smaller amounts of other minerals such as hornblende, mica, or amphibole. Unlike granite, which is another common intrusive igneous rock, syenite contains minimal to no quartz. The ...
Syenite | Igneous, Intrusive, Plutonic | Britannica
Syenite, any of a class of intrusive igneous rocks essentially composed of an alkali feldspar and a ferromagnesian mineral. A special group of alkali syenites is characterized by the presence of a feldspathoid mineral such as nepheline, leucite, cancrinite, or sodalite (see nepheline syenite).
Syenite: A Coarse-grained Granite-Like Plutonic Rock
2023年7月6日 · Syenite is a coarse-grained, mostly light-colored intrusive rock with an intermediate to felsic composition. It has mainly alkali feldspar, lesser plagioclase, and one or more mafic minerals. Also, it may have a small amount of quartz.
Syenite: Identification, Pictures, & Info for Rockhounds
Syenite is an intrusive igneous rock composed primarily of alkali feldspar, lesser amounts of of plagioclase feldspar, and under 20% quartz. It is coarse-grained with tightly interlocking crystals. Syenite is usually off-white, gray, greenish, red, or pink with black spots and no …
Nepheline syenite - Wikipedia
Nepheline syenite is characterized by high ratio of (Na 2 O+K 2 O)/SiO 2 and (Na 2 O+K 2 O)/Al 2 O 3, which are represented respectively by the existence of nepheline and alkaline mafic minerals. Therefore, it is classified geochemically as alkaline rock.
Syenite - Meaning, Definitions, Classification, Properties and Uses
It is an intrusive igneous rock that consists of ferromagnesian mineral & alkali feldspar and usually coarse-grained. If we talk about its composition, that is generally the same as granite. It contains medium quantities of silica & large amounts of alkalis and alumina.
Syenite - Geology is the Way
Syenites are a group of plutonic igneous rocks that consist almost entirely of alkali feldspar with minor amounts of Na-rich plagioclase and that represent the intrusive counterpart of trachytes.
Syenite - Igneous Rocks - Sandatlas
Syenite is an igneous rock that solidified slowly in the crust in a similar manner to granite. A true syenite (sensu stricto) is also compositionally resembling granite. The most notable difference is the absence or very low quantity of quartz while it is an essential component of granite.
Syenite - New World Encyclopedia
Syenite is an uncommon, coarse-grained, intrusive igneous rock. It has the same general composition as granite, but the quartz component is either absent or present in relatively small amounts (less than five percent). The predominant minerals in syenite belong to …
