Synopsis

Explore the diverse lava types that shape Hawaii, from old centers to active volcanoes, and learn how scientists classify and compare them.

This comprehensive study gathers petrographic data from field collections and earlier literature to reveal a broad range of Hawaiian lavas. It explains how rock composition, mineral content, and chemical analyses guide a practical, color‑coded classification system and how these lavas relate across the island chain.

• Discussion of rock types like basalts, nephelite-melilite basalt, soda trachyte, and picritic basalt


• Explanation of qualitative and quantitative classification and how norms relate to mineral content


• Maps and plates illustrating rock distributions among Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii


• Insights into the evolution and differentiation of Hawaiian magmas and their world distribution

Ideal for students and readers interested in practical petrology, volcanic rocks, and the geology of oceanic islands.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
