Download or read book A Glossary of the Mining and Mineral Industry Classic Reprint written by Albert H. Fay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Glossary of the Mining and Mineral Industry Because the demand for this glossary has been mounting steadily to the point where urgency is indicated, the Bureau of Mines has decided to republish the volume, which has been out of print for many years because the plates wore out from frequent use. In reprinting Fay's original work, it is recognized that new terms and expressions have come into the language; new usages have been applied to some of the old terms; and some of theold terms have become obsolete. The Bureau, therefore, will welcome and appreciate suggestions and comments from users of the glossary with respect to changes in definitions and explanations, as well as the inclusion of new words and phrases. It is hoped that, with their help, a new, revised, and improved glossary can be published at an early date.

Download or read book Glossary of Geology written by Robert Latimer Bates and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of the Glossary of Geology contains approximately 37,000 terms, or 1,000 more than the second edition, as well as 650 emendations and corrections. In addition, it includes for the first time the division of cited terms in syllables, with accents to aid in pronunciation. Approximately 150 references have been added to the 2,000 in the second edition. Literature cited ranges from the early 1790s to 1986. New entries are especially numerous in the fields of carbonate sedimentology, hydrogeology, marine geology, mineralogy, ore deposits, plate tectonics, snow and ice, and stratigraphic nomenclature. Many of the definitions provide background information. Thus the reader will learn the difference between sylvanite and sylvinite, and many other look-alike pairs; the origin of such terms as charnockite and lottal; the meaning of BHP, LVL, MORB, and more than 100 other abbreviations now common in the geoscience vocabulary; and the dates when many terms were first used, the meaning of certain common prefixes, and the preferred term of two or more synonyms.The authority of this new edition - like that of its predecessors - rests on the expertise of geoscientists from many specialties, who have reviewed definitions, added new terms, and cited references. Their contributions make the Glossary an essential reference work for all in the geoscience community. Printed on recycled, acid-free paper.

Download or read book Metamorphic Rocks A Classification and Glossary of Terms written by Douglas Fettes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many common terms in metamorphic petrology vary in their usage and meaning between countries. The International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) Subcommission on the Systematics of Metamorphic Rocks (SCMR) has aimed to resolve this, and to present systematic terminology and rock definitions that can be used worldwide. This 2007 book is the result of discussion and consultation lasting 20 years and involving hundreds of geoscientists worldwide. It presents a complete nomenclature of metamorphic rocks, with a comprehensive glossary of definitions, sources and etymology of over 1200 terms, and a list of mineral abbreviations. Twelve multi-authored sections explain how to derive the correct names for metamorphic rocks and processes, and discuss the rationale behind the more important terms. These sections deal with rocks from high- to low- and very-low-grade. This book will form a key reference and international standard for all geoscientists studying metamorphic rocks.
