The nature and origin of granite

摘要: Preface. The historical perspective - an ever changing emphasis. categories of granitic rocks the search for a genetic typology. Granite as chemical system experimental impact. physical nature magmas case missing information. evolution texture continuum crystal growth. Differentiation in magmas: zoning example multifactinal processes at work. volcano-plutonic interface not Read's hiatus. evidence restite unmixing alternative hypothesis. mingling and mixing granite with basalt third term multiple Appinites, diatremes granodiorites interaction wet granite. Controls upwelling emplacement response envelope: balloons, pistons reality. On rates emplacement, crystallization cooling. Plagiogranite Ferrogranophyre: extreme differentiation contrasted situations. Cordilleran-type batholiths magmatism crust formation plate edge. Intraplate rift-related mainly A-type, alkali feldspar granites. Migmatites are they source plutons? waning stages role volatiles genesis pegmatites metal ores. sources their various global tectonic niches. A kind conclusion order among multifactorial multifarious interactions. Bibliography. Index.
