552.1 Roches ignées |
| Résumé : |
This textbook provides a basic understanding of the formative processes of igneous and metamorphic rock through quantitative applications of simple physical and chemical principles. The book encourages a deeper comprehension of the subject by explaining the petrologic principles rather than simply presenting the student with petrologic facts and terminology. Assuming knowledge of only introductory college-level courses in physics, chemistry, and calculus, it lucidly outlines mathematical derivations fully and at an elementary level, and is ideal for intermediate and advanced courses in igneous and metamorphic petrology. The end-of-chapter quantitative problem sets facilitate student learning by working through simple applications. They also introduce several widely-used thermodynamic software programs for calculating igneous and metamorphic phase equilibria and image analysis software. With over 350 illustrations, this revised edition contains valuable new material on the structure of the Earth's mantle and core, the properties and behaviour of magmas, recent results from satellite imaging, and more. Builds an in-depth understanding of petrologic principles through a quantitative approach, supported by instructive end-of-chapter problem sets
Illustrated with over 350 figures, with all phase diagrams accompanied by photomicrographs, linking descriptive aspects of petrology with the fundamental principles governing the origin of rocks
Provides an introduction to complex software programs by promoting an understanding of the thermodynamic principles governing phase equilibria |
