Description
Volume 3 examines the chemical composition of the Earth's crust, starting with the continental crust and the rocks exposed therein, moving
on to oceanic crust (MORB and oceanic plateaus) and finishing with island arc crust. In addition to providing a descriptive geochemistry
of the Earth's crust, the volume summarizes the processes responsible for crustal formation and modification, exchange between the crust
and other Earth reservoirs (mantle, oceans and atmosphere), and examines the secular evolution of the crust.
Reprinted individual
volume from the acclaimed Treatise on Geochemistry,
(10 Volume Set, ISBN 0-08-043751-6, published in 2003)
Audience
Upper-division undergraduate and graduate students in geochemistry, ecology, earth, and soil sciences, especially those with interest in global change or environmental chemistry
