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 explains the following topics: Placing rocks in tectonic or planetary
context, Making igneous rocks, ,Magmas, Stable minerals and assemblages,
Chemical petrology, Making metamorphic rocks, Metamorphic textures, Metamorphic
reactions.
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.
