This
note will examine the physical make-up of some of the most important rocks we
have on the planet , the sedimentary rocks. Topics covered includes: Grain
Dynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Sedimentary Structures, Siliciclastic Petrography,
Volcaniclastic and Carbonate Petrography, Chemical Sedimentary Rocks, Carbonate
Petrography, Carbonate Diagenesis.
This lecture note
surveys the distribution, chemical composition, and mineral associations in
rocks of the earth's crust and upper mantle, and establishes its relation to
tectonic environment. The emphasis is on the use of chemistry and physics to
interpret rock forming processes.
This note covers the following topics:
Earth interior, Mantle, Crust, Oceanic crust, Continental crust, Velocity
structure, Velocity boundaries, Petrology and Tectonics, Lithosphere, Pressure
Gradient, Pressure In The Crust, Heat Sources In The Earth, Heat Production and
Heat Transfer.
This note covers the following topics:
structure and heat produciton in Earth, Introduction to igneous rocks,
