Description
Mineral Physics provides the fundamental information needed to interpret deep Earth geophysical data in terms of Earth structure, composition,
temperature and dynamics. Divided into three parts and 21 chapters, this volume contains summaries of what is known of the mineralogy
and chemistry of the deep crust, the upper mantle, the transition zone, the lower mantle and the core of the Earth. It also addresses
the underlying theory, techniques, and methods used in mineral physics and reviews the major physical properties of deep Earth minerals.
