Description - Petrology and Plate Tectonics by Allen Glazner

Uniquely follows plate tectonics cycles, integrating igneous and metamorphic topics to engage and educate future Earth scientists. Petrology and Plate Tectonics, First Edition presents a groundbreaking approach to teaching petrology by using plate tectonics as a unifying theme and integrating igneous and metamorphic topics to equip students with a clearer understanding of essential geological concepts. Students
gain deeper insights into vital concepts such as the movement of matter through Earth's crust and mantle, the interplay between petrologic cycles and surface processes, the whole Earth's water cycle, landscape
evolution, and the formation of critical element deposits. This holistic approach illustrates how petrology influences and is shaped by Earth's evolving systems, including climate change, mass extinctions, and geological hazards.
