 MSN Encarta - Igneous Rock
The crystals in intrusive rocks are larger because the magma that forms them is insulated by the surrounding rock and therefore cools slowly.
Rocks and minerals rich in silicon are called silica-rich or felsic (rich in feldspar and silica).
Geologists describe intrusions by their size, their shape, and whether they are concordant, meaning they run parallel to the structure of neighboring rocks, or discordant, meaning they cut across the structure of neighboring rocks.

 Rock (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rocks are classified by mineral and chemical composition; the texture of the constituent particles; and also by the processes that formed them.
Plutonic or intrusive rocks result when magma cools and crystallises slowly within the Earth's crust, while volcanic or extrusive rocks result from magma reaching the surface either as lava (when the molten rock is in the mantle, it is called magma, when it is above the crust, it is called lava) or fragmental ejecta.
Sedimentary rocks are formed by deposition of either detrital or organic matter, or chemical precipitates (evaporites), followed by compaction of the particulate matter and cementation.

 Industrial rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Industrial rock is a musical genre which is a fusion of industrial music and rock music.

Textural terms can be used to differentiate different intrusive phases of large plutons, for instance porphyritic margins to large intrusive bodies, porphyry stocks and subvolcanic apophyses.

 Alternative rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While "alternative" was simply an umbrella term for a diverse collection of underground rock bands, Nirvana and similar groups gave it a reputation for being a distinct style of guitar based rock which combined elements of punk and metal; their creation met with considerable commercial success.
Most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to the style and/or ethos of punk, which laid the groundwork for underground and alternative music in the 1970s.
Though the genre is considered to be rock, some of its genres were influenced by folk music, reggae, techno and jazz music among other genres.

 Brighton Rock
Made with a raw energy by the Boulting brothers, Brighton Rock embodies the bleak, seedy Englishness of pubs, bank holidays and BandBs.
Expressionistic studio shots and atmospheric locations fix the threatening mood so powerfully that Brighton's alarmed tourist bureau insisted the film opened with an assurance that the 'dark alleyways and festering slums' existed only 'between the two wars' and are 'now happily no more'.
They made a film shocking in its brutality, the forerunner of hard-boiled gangster classic Get Carter and more than a match for Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

 Sedimentary rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock particles in the form of clay, silt, sand, and gravel, are transported by the agents of erosion (usually water, and less frequently by ice and wind) to new locations and redeposited in layers, generally at a lower elevation.
Sedimentary rocks are formed from overburden pressure as particles of sediment are deposited out of air, ice, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension.
The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the Earth's crust is extensive, but the total contribution of sedimentary rocks is estimated to be only five percent of the total.

 Rock (geology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rocks are classified by mineral and chemical composition; the texture of the constituent particles; and also by the processes that formed them.
Metamorphic rocks are formed by subjecting any rock type (including previously-formed metamorphic rock) to different temperature and pressure conditions than those in which the original rock was formed.
Plutonic or intrusive rocks result when magma cools and crystallises slowly within the Earth's crust, while volcanic or extrusive rocks result from magma reaching the surface either as lava (when the molten rock is in the mantle, it is called magma, when it is above the crust, it is called lava) or fragmental ejecta.

 Metamorphic rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metamorphic rock is the result of the transformation of a pre-existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form" (from the Greek prefix meta, "after", and the noun morphe, "form").
Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth's crust and are classified by texture and by chemical and mineral assembly (metamorphic facies).
The layering within metamorphic rocks is called foliation (derived from the Latin word folia, meaning "leaves"), and it occurs when a strong compressive force is applied from one direction to a recrystallizing rock.

 Peruvian rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the military dictatorship of the late 60s and 70s, rock was outcast as an alienating phenomenon by the government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado in various ways: banning concerts in key venues, banning the import of "alienating and Yankee" American rock music, and even banning a highly anticipated Carlos Santana concert.
Their music was a fusion of psychedelic rock, garage rock and surf; they were followed by bands like Los Yorks and Los Jaguares, Los Silvertons, The Belkings, Los Doltons, Los Shain and finally Traffic Sound (the latter the first Peruvian supergroup, merging the core players from both Los Hang Ten`s and Los Mads).
The best bands of 'mainstream 90s' rock were Los Nosequien y Los Nosecuantos, Miki Gonzales and Arena Hash, from where member Pedro Suarez Vertiz became the most commercially successful Peruvian rocker of the decade as he went on a solo career.
