A comprehensive picture of the architecture of crustal magmatic systems The composition of igneous rocks – their minerals, melts, and fluids – reveals the physical and chemical conditions under which magmas form, evolve, interact, and move from the Earth’s mantle through the crust. These magma dynamics affect processes on the surface including crustal growth and eruptive behaviour of volcanoes. Crustal Magmatic System Evolution: Anatomy, Architecture, and Physico-Chemical Processes uses analytical, experimental, and numerical approaches to explore the diversity of crustal processes from magma differentiation and assimilation to eruption at the surface. Volume highlights include: Physic...
Volcanologiststakes a look at the scientists who explore Earth's hot spots, learn more about how volcanoes work, and try to save lives by improving predictions of when volcanoes will erupt. Features include vivid photos, in-depth examinations of scientific concepts, a glossary, additional resources, source notes, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Essential Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
Taking a new global approach, this unique book provides an updated review of the geology of Iberia and its continental margins from a geodynamic perspective. Owing to its location close to successive plate margins, Iberia has played a pivotal role in the geodynamic evolution of the Gondwanan, Rheic, Pangea, Tethys s.l. and Eurasian plates over the last 600 Ma of Earth's history. The geological record starts with the amalgamation of Gondwana in the Neoproterozoic succeeded by the rifting and spreading of the Rheic ocean; its demise, which led to the amalgamation of Pangea in the late Paleozoic; the rifting and spreading of several arms of the Neotethys ocean in the Mesozoic Era and their ongo...
Ocean island volcanoes constitute some of the most prominent and rapidly-formed features on Earth, and yet they cannot be explained by conventional plate tectonics. Although typically associated with intraplate settings (hotspots), these volcanoes also occur in different geodynamic settings (near mid-ocean ridges). The nature of ocean island magmatism is still the subject of intense debate within the geological community. Traditionally it has been linked to the presence of mantle plumes at depth (e.g. Hawaii), although the interaction with plate tectonics is also recognized to play a significant role (e.g. Azores, Galápagos). Magma compositions may range from basaltic to more differentiated...
Concluida la Guerra Civil, en un contexto histórico, social y artístico fuertemente ideologizado y caracterizado por un dirigismo oficial, se retomó la organización de las exposiciones nacionales de Bellas Artes, que desde 1856 venían celebrándose en España como un instrumento del Estado para la protección y desarrollo del arte español. En el presente volumen se lleva a cabo un análisis individualizado de cada uno de los certámenes que se celebraron entre 1941 y 1968, tanto en sus aspectos de organización interna como, desde una perspectiva crítica y artística, de las secciones de pintura, escultura y arquitectura en que se estructuraban a través de un copioso e inédito material archivístico y hemerográfico, que se completa con la inclusión de numerosas ilustraciones. El libro está dirigido a estudiantes, docentes investigadores en universidades y centro de investigación y público general interesados en la historia, la crítica y los procesos de institucionalización del arte en España durante el periodo franquista.
