hardcover. Series: Springer Geology. Num Pages: 245 pages, 19 black & white illustrations, 131 colour illustrations, 50 black & white tables, 30 col. BIC Classification: PGS; PNV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This book presents the first overview of the composition and structure of the Earth’s lower mantle. The first part focuses on the study of lower-mantle minerals, identified as inclusions in diamonds from different regions of the world. Three associations are established among the lower-mantle minerals: ultramafic, mafic, and carbonatic. The carbonatic association is of particular interest because it characterizes the media of natural diamond formation. In turn, the second part analyzes the structure of the lower mantle, revealing its heterogeneous composition. It is based on the results of experiments demonstrating phase transitions in lower-mantle minerals, and on seismological data. Deep-seated ... Read more
