Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metamorphic rocks form deep below Earth’s surface. Over thousands of years, they make their way to the surface. Then they are collected for use as building materials, sharpened tools, and even fertilizer! Interesting text and vivid photos engage readers in this fascinating book about metamorphic rocks. Additional special features, such as a rock profile, formation diagrams, and a rock cycle chart, will help underscore the key features of these useful rocks for confident students who are reading to learn.

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From metamorphism to metamorphosis, there is only a shade of a nuance. Because me- morphic rocks are not only what they are, but also what they were, and they tell of what happened in between. What must be discovered: how to recognize in the butterfly, the caterpillar that was, or in the caterpillar the butterfly that will be? And how to describe the metamorphosis, excuse me, metamorphism which leads from one to the other? It is to this engaging history, this marvelous tale, written progressively over time, which Jacques Kornprobst leads us. If the sedimentary and magmatic rocks have been the object of reflection for a long time, for which a contradiction was established in the century in the confrontation between the Neptunism of Werner for whom everything came from the sea, and the P- tonism of Hutton who derived all rocks from the interior of the earth, the “crystalline schists” as they were called, and as we call them today for simplicity, appear most ambi- ous: they had the crystals of rocks of endogenous origin and appeared to have the strati- cation of exogenous rocks with which one confused the schistosity. These crystalline schists are in some ways the bats of the rock kingdom.

This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Igneous Rocks and Their Origin This book gives the substance of a course of lectures prepared for students in Harvard University and in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its writing was begun at the Institute and finished at the University. The preliminary work that led the writer into the igneous-rock field was a study of Mount Ascutney, Vermont, twenty years ago. The fundamental problems in that small area are largely identical with those encountered outdoors during each, succeeding field season. An attempt at their partial solution became more hopeful as facts were accumulated, both from rocks themselves and from the literature of geology. The last decade has been specially prolific in publications affecting the philosophy of eruptive rocks. Many of these recent memoirs have described definite proofs of vital principles which had been no more than suggested as possibilities during the preceding century. The combination of established principles, new and old, has led to the following general explanation of igneous activity. It is offered as a working hypothesis, which may have value in helping to indicate the truly important problems among the infinite number of those still unsolved. The history of science shows that it is generally harder to ask a significant question than to answer an insignificant question; and that in the bettering of working hypotheses the truth is approached. At intervals since 1897 the writer has published on special igneous-rock themes. In a few instances the matter of such papers, after revision, has been incorporated in this book. In preparing those original papers as well as the material here published for the first time, much assistance has been given by colleagues in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Professors W. C. Bray, T. A. Jaggar, G. N. Lewis, A. A. Noyes, and C. H. Warren; and in Harvard University - Professors G. P. Baxter, P. W. Bridgman, H. N. Davis, L. S. Marks, C. Palache, T. W. Richards, and J. E. Wolff. The writer has profited from many discussions on the general subject with Professors A. C. Lane, F. D. Adams, and A. C. Lawson, and with Dr. F. E. Wright.
