    This document provides information about plutonism and volcanism. It defines plutonism as the formation of intrusive igneous rock through the solidification of magma beneath the earth's surface, forming coarse-grained rocks. Volcanism is defined as the eruption of molten rock onto the surface, where lava and gases erupt through vents to form fine-grained volcanic rocks. The main difference between the two is that plutonic rocks cool slowly below ground, while volcanic rocks cool quickly above ground. Studying volcanism is important because eruptions can impact land and climate, while plutonism occurs mainly at tectonic plate boundaries where conditions allow magma formation.

    WHAT IS PLUTONISM? WHAT IS VOLCANISM?
    Volcanism is the phenomenon of
    the formation of intrusive eruption of molten rock onto the
    surface of the Earth or a solid-
    igneous rock by solidification
    surface planet or moon, where
    of magma beneath
    lava, pyroclastics and volcanic
    the earth's surface. gases erupt through a break in the
    surface called a vent.

    difference
    between
    plutonism and VOLCANISM
    volcanism?
    The plutonic rocks are granite, diorite. quickly
    The lava cools down
    so these rocks are fine-grained.

    The magma cools


    . down slowly so these
    rocks are coarse-grained as large The volcanic rocks are basalt,
    crystals could be formed gabbros.
    before the magma solidifies.

    Volcanic eruptions are one of Earth's
    most dramatic and violent agents of
    change. Not only can powerful explosive
    eruptions drastically alter land and water
    for tens of kilometers around a volcano,
    but tiny liquid droplets of sulfuric acid
    erupted into the stratosphere can change
    our planet's climate temporarily.sm?

    It is a particularly important at the
    boundaries between tectonic plates, which
    are where the crust of the earth is
    divided into many large sheaths of rock
    and also where the conditions are just
    right for the formation of magma to
    occur.
