Description for Granite
Hardback. Granite is the most abundant rock on the continental crust, and this text is devoted to the understanding of its origins and emplacement by studying its internal structures. It covers a range of topics related to the physical aspects of granite magmatism. It is useful to geologists, petrologists, and geophysicists. Editor(s): Bouchez, Jean-Luc; Hutton, D.; Stephens, W. E. Series: Petrology and Structural Geology. Num Pages: 368 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBGG; RBGL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 698.
viii debate of those earlier days has been beautifully summarized by H. H. Read in his famous "Granite Controversy" (1957). Read's formulation of the controversy occurred at the time when geochemistry was as a new and powerful tool. The new techniques opened era during which emerging an granites were considered mainly from this new viewpoint. Geochemical signatures have shown that mantle and crustal origins for granites were both possible, but the debate on how and why granites are emplaced did not progress much. Meanwhile, structural geology was essentially geometrical and mechanistic. In the early 70's, the structural approach began to ... Read more
