1 It is proven that a cup of hot coffee can help uplift your senses and refresh you. This quality of coffee can be attributed to the presence of caffeine, which is a central nervous stimulant.  Caffeine is basically a bitter white crystalline alkaloid.
1 Igneous rocks that form too quickly for crystals to form have what is called a glassy texture. 2  Obsidian is the only glassy igneous rock, and can be identified by its dark color. 3  This looks like dark black glass. An example of an intrusive rock is granite. 2  When magma is above the earth's crust, it is known as lava. 3  Extrusive rocks form through very fast cooling of lava above the Earth's surface. 4  Extrusive rocks have very small, almost microscopic crystals.
Some extrusive igneous rocks cool so rapidly that crystals do not develop at all. These form a glass, such as obsidian (Figure 4.14). Others, such as pumice, contain holes where gas bubbles were trapped when the material was still hot and molten.The holes make pumice so light that it actually floats in water. The most common extrusive igneous rock is basalt, a rock that is especially common below the oceans (Figure 4.15).Figure 4.13: Extrusive igneous rocks form after lava cools above the surface.
