This book was released on 1990-02-28 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring over 250 contributions from more than 100 earth scientists from 18 countries, The Encyclopedia of Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology deals with the nature and genesis of igneous rocks that have crystallized from molten magma, and of metamorphic rocks that are the products of re-crystallization associated with increases in temperature and pressure, mainly at considerable depths in the Earth's crust. Entries range from alkaline rocks to zeolite facies - providing information on the mineralogical, chemical and textural characters of rock types, the development of concepts and the present state of knowledge across the spectrum of igneous and metamorphic petrology, together with extensive lists of both commonly used and little used terms and bibliographies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical petrology is essentially the physical chemistry of rocks and associated fluids, although it also borrows heavily from such other sciences as mineralogy. In terms of fundamentals it is firmly grounded in chemical thermodynamics and kinetics. In its treatment of terrestrial environments it grades imperceptably into sedimentology, geochemistry, and geophysics and in extraterrestrial environments into cosmochemistry. It is one of the most important branches of planetology and meteoritics. The unity of approach of thermodynamics and kinetics to processes in these diverse environments is stressed in this book by numerous examples which have been chosen to illuminate different aspects of the subject. Thus we have discussed in some depth such problems as the genesis of layered basic complexes, calc-alkaline batholiths, chondri tic meteorites, and the surface-atmosphere interaction of the planet Venus because these are important and because they are particularly good illustrations of the chemical petrology approach. Considerable attention also has been devoted to volcanic processes. In our treatment of metamor phism in particular, an attempt has been made to correlate and integrate the vast number of recent experimental, theoretical, and field studies. However, we have not attempted a comprehensive survey of all known rock types or occurrences, nor did we review all the diverse opinions and conclusions on the origins of controversial rocks. Instead we have chosen to stress interpretations we regard as following most directly from the evidence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains four papers that report on a wide range of geoscientific activities related to various rare-metal deposits in the Northwest Territories. Two papers represent the results of work carried out on the Blatchford Lake intrusive suite and the associated Thor Lake rare-metal deposits of niobium, tantalum, beryllium, yttrium, rare-earth elements, and gallium. A detailed gravity survey and computer modelling provides an understanding of the three dimensional geometry of the 23 km wide Blatchford Lake. Another paper summarizes some of the extensive pegmatite research done by the University of Manitoba in the Northwest Territories during the 1980s, providing information on the geological setting, geochemistry, and economic potential of four previously undocumented or poorly known rare-element pegmatite occurrences at Ayler Lake, Torp Lake, Chantry Inlet, and the Foxe fields in the Rae Province. Another paper presents a thorough documentation of the geological settings, characteristics, and metallogeny of selected mineral occurrences in the southern part of the Proterozoic Great Bear magnetic zone.
