Download or read book Physical Chemistry of Magmas written by Leonid L. Perchuk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical Chemistry of Magmas investigates the properties, structure, and phase relationships of silicate melts with invited contributions from an international team of experts. Data and some rules for estimating the properties and structures of melts, as well as the implications of the physical chemistry of silicate liquids to igneous petrology are presented. The second section then focuses on phase relationships, with particular attention on the application of experimental and theoretical petrology to modeling the origin of certain magmas.
