By George Irving Finlay

Book Overview

""Introduction to the Study of Igneous Rocks"" is a comprehensive guide to the study of rocks that have been formed through the process of solidification from a molten state. Written by George Irving Finlay and first published in 1913, this book provides an in-depth exploration of the physical and chemical properties of igneous rocks, as well as their classification, distribution, and geological significance. The text covers a wide range of topics, including the formation of magma, the crystallization of igneous rocks, the identification of different types of igneous rocks, and the ways in which these rocks can be used to understand the history and evolution of the Earth's crust. Finlay's work is a classic in the field of geology, and remains an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the study of igneous rocks and their role in the Earth's geology.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
