Text-Book of Petrology, Vol. 6: Containing a Summary of the Modern Theories of Petrogenesis, a Description of the Rock-Forming Minerals, and a ... as Illustrated by the British Isles - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the fascinating world of igneous rocks, exploring their formation, composition, and occurrence. The author, a leading expert in the field, guides readers through the processes by which molten rock, or magma, cools and solidifies, creating a vast array of rock types. This book goes beyond simply identifying different rocks, exploring the conditions under which they form, how they interact with surrounding formations, and even the forces that shape their unique external structures. The book's detailed examination of igneous rocks draws on a rich history of scientific investigation, including the seminal work of geologists like Gilbert, who first described laccoliths—dome-shaped intrusions that arch overlying strata. The author uses this foundation to explore the complex interplay of pressure, temperature, and chemical composition that governs the formation of these rocks. By examining the textures and structures of these rocks—from the intricate crystalline arrangements to the distinctive flow structures of lava—readers gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic forces that have shaped the earth's crust over eons. This book serves as an essential guide for anyone seeking to unlock the secrets hidden within the earth’s igneous formations.
