Briefly describe the processes that lead to the formation of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks
Explain partial melting and the geological processes that lead to melting
Describe, in general terms, the range of chemical compositions of magmas
Discuss the processes that take place during the cooling and crystallization of magma, and the typical order of crystallization according to the Bowen reaction series

Apply the criteria for igneous rock classification based on mineral proportions
Describe the origins of phaneritic, porphyritic, and pegmatitic textures
