Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an unprecedented compendium of chemical analysis methods of geological igneous rock samples. In its pages, the author draws from his own extensive research and the collective knowledge of the international scientific community to provide a comprehensive resource that will be indispensable for researchers and students alike. The author describes approaches to compute the proportions of the individual minerals from analyses of igneous rocks, an important task that can be accomplished by applying the information in this book. Igneous rocks are classified, among other factors, by their chemical composition, and for each igneous rock type, the author provides examples of analyses that conform to their ideal compositions. He then offers suggestions for dealing with geochemical analyses that show evidence of weathering and alteration, complicating the identification of their original chemical profiles. The book is a must-have for any geologist interested in the chemical composition of igneous rocks, and its contents are sure to shape our understanding of the chemical processes that have operated throughout Earth's history to form these rocks and to bring them to their present state.
