The Nature Of The Lower Continental Crust PDF Download

Examination of lithologic and structural features and other aspects of the lower continental crust, such as ductility, chemistry and regional studies, form the subject of this volume. Papers include: Seismic reflections from the lower crust around Britain; The physical properties of layered rocks in deep continental crust; Continental lithosphere strength: the critical role of lower crustal deformation; The chemical composition of the Archaean crust; The structural evolution of the lower crust of orogenic belts, present and past; and many others.
