Metamorphic Rocks and Their Geodynamic Significance: A Petrological Handbook


Add your own review!

Overview

This work describes metamorphic rock formation mechanisms in a simplified form. It presents the geometrical rules which control mineral assemblages as a function of rock composition, and provides the basis of a thermodynamical approach used for equilibrium slope calculations. On the basis of several examples from the literature, the author emphasizes the relations between different metamorphic gradients and different geodynamic situations.
