Isotope Geochemistry
Volcanic rocks are formed from the rapid cooling and solidification of magma erupted from a volcano. These rocks are significant in understanding geological processes, including the age and composition of the Earth's crust, and are often dated using techniques like K-Ar and Ar-Ar systems, as well as fission track dating, which provide insights into volcanic activity and the history of the Earth.
congrats on reading the definition of volcanic rocks. now let's actually learn it.
