Petrology Lecture Notes
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.
