Unlock the science behind rocks with a comprehensive, century-spanned survey .
This authoritative volume gathers decades of laboratory work from the U.S. Geological Survey to reveal how rock analysis is done and what it shows about Earth's geology.
In the introduction and methods chapters, it explains the analytical approach, sample preparation, and the precise steps used to measure key constituents. The main section compiles rock analyses from across North America and beyond, covering igneous and crystalline rocks, carbonates, sands, clays, and even meteorites to illuminate petrographic relationships and regional geology. It also notes how the survey built and organized its labs, and how results were documented for reliable comparison.Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book collects and tabulates chemical analyses of rocks produced by the U.S. Geological Survey since its founding in 1879, along with bibliographic data and petrographic descriptions. The analyses, ranging across a broad spectrum of igneous and crystalline rocks, sedimentary rocks, carbonates, clays, and soils, were originally published in various scientific journals, monographs, and official reports and have been painstakingly gathered and organized into a single, easily accessible volume. The data in this book provide a deep foundation for understanding the chemical composition of rocks and the characteristics of the Earth's crust. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780331032666_0
