Excerpt from Text-Book of Petrology, Vol. 6: Containing a Summary of the Modern Theories of Petrogenesis, a Description of the Rock-Forming Minerals, and a Synopsis of the Chief Types of the Igneous Rocks and Their Distribution as Illustrated by the British Isles
In this edition, besides the correction of a few typographical errors and of some misspellings of place-names, there are several small improvements suggested by friends. Especially to be noted is a simplification, but without alteration of principle, of the tables of classification of the Plutonic and of the Volcanic Rocks (on pages 153 and 248). A new map, showing the volcanic area of Glencoe and the Etive granite complex, has also been added (on page 371) by kind permission of Messrs. Clough, Maufe and Bailey, and of the Council of the Geological Society. Mr. Pringle has revised the Index.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of igneous rocks, exploring their formation, composition, and occurrence. The author, a leading expert in the field, guides readers through the processes by which molten rock, or magma, cools and solidifies, creating a vast array of rock types. This book goes beyond simply identifying different rocks, exploring the conditions under which they form, how they interact with surrounding formations, and even the forces that shape their unique external structures. The book's detailed examination of igneous rocks draws on a rich history of scientific investigation, including the seminal work of geologists like Gilbert, who first described laccolithsââ âdome-shaped intrusions that arch overlying strata. The author uses this foundation to explore the complex interplay of pressure, temperature, and chemical composition that governs the formation of these rocks. By examining the textures and structures of these rocksââ âfrom the intricate crystalline arrangements to the distinctive flow structures of lavaââ âreaders gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic forces that have shaped the earth's crust over eons. This book serves as an essential guide for anyone seeking to unlock the secrets hidden within the earthââ â¢s igneous formations.
