Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to Igneous Rocks, focusing on their composition and occurrence around the globe. Igneous rocks are those formed when molten rock solidifies. The author describes the structure and internal composition of these rocks and categorizes them into three classes: Plutonic (formed deep within the Earth), Volcanic (formed closer to the surface) and Metamorphic (formed when existing rock is altered by heat and pressure). The author also discusses the constituent minerals commonly found in igneous rocks, including quartz, felspar, hornblende, mica and pyroxene, and the secondary minerals that result from their decomposition. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in understanding the geology beneath their feet. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
