Download or read book The Physics of the Earth s Core written by P. Melchior and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expanded version of a course on the physics of the Earth's interior by an internationally recognised expert in the field. It is a reference text providing condensed information on those essential physical topics needed by both the non-specialist scientist and student to follow the most recent developments in internal geophysics. It is a key to understanding papers covering theoretical geophysics where the basic formulae, definitions and theorems cannot be explained in detail due to the limited space and thus enables the reader to remain aware of the continuous progress being made in studying the Earth's interior.

Book excerpt: Earth’s Core: Geophysics of a Planet’s Deepest Interior provides a multidisciplinary approach to Earth’s core, including seismology, mineral physics, geomagnetism, and geodynamics. The book examines current observations, experiments, and theories; identifies outstanding research questions; and suggests future directions for study. With topics ranging from the structure of the core-mantle boundary region, to the chemical and physical properties of the core, the workings of the geodynamo, inner core seismology and dynamics, and core formation, this book offers a multidisciplinary perspective on what we know and what we know we have yet to discover. The book begins with the fundamental material and concepts in seismology, mineral physics, geomagnetism, and geodynamics, accessible from a wide range of backgrounds. The book then builds on this foundation to introduce current research, including observations, experiments, and theories. By identifying unsolved problems and promising routes to their solutions, the book is intended to motivate further research, making it a valuable resource both for students entering Earth and planetary sciences and for researchers in a particular subdiscipline who need to broaden their understanding. Includes multidisciplinary observations constraining the composition and dynamics of the Earth’s core Concisely presents competing theories and arguments on the composition, state, and dynamics of the Earth’s interior Provides observational tests of various theories to enhance understanding Serves as a valuable resource for researchers in deep earth geophysics, as well as many sub-disciplines, including seismology, geodynamics, geomagnetism, and mineral physics
Download or read book The Earth s Core written by John A. Jacobs and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1987-04-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth's Core, Second Edition is a six-chapter book that begins with the general physical properties of the Earth, with emphasis on the core-mantle boundary. This edition discusses the accretion mechanism, heat sources in the early Earth, time of core formation, thermal regime of the Earth, melting-point depth curves, and thermal consequences of iron-alloy core. Subsequent chapters focus on reversals of the Earth's magnetic field; the energetics and the constitution of the Earth's core; and the cores of the Moon and other planets. The role of the Earth's core is vital to the understanding of many geophysical phenomena. It is the seat of the Earth's magnetic field and is responsible as well to some variations in the length of the day.

Download or read book Advances in Solar System Magnetohydrodynamics written by Eric Ronald Priest and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-06-28 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the solar system is in the plasma state and its subtle non-linear interaction with the magnetic field is described for many purposes by the equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Over the past few years this important and complex field has become one of the most actively pursued areas of research, with increasingly diverse applications in geophysics, space physics and astrophysics. This book examines the basic MHD topics, such as equilibria, waves, instabilities and reconnection and examines each in the context of different areas that utilize MHD. Many of the world's leading experts have contributed to this volume, which has been edited by two of the key enthusiasts. It is hoped that it can help the reader to appreciate and understand the common threads between the different branches of magnetohydrodynamics. This book will be a timely exposition of recent advances made in the field.
