The Geology of Chile
Author: Teresa Moreno (Ph. D.)
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862392205
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
This book is the first comprehensive account in English of the geology of Chile, providing a key reference work that brings together many years of research, and written mostly by Chilean authors from various universities and other centres of research excellence. The 13 chapters begin with a general overview, followed by detailed accounts of Andean tectonostratigraphy and magmatism, the amazingly active volcanism, the world class ore deposits that have proven to be so critical to the welfare of the country, and Chilean water resources. The subject then turns to geophysics with an examination of neotectonics and earthquakes, the hazardous frequency of which is a daily fact of life for the Chilean population. There are chapters on the offshore geology and oceanography of the SE Pacific Ocean, subjects that continue to attract much research not least from those seeking to understand world climatic variations, and on late Quaternary land environments, concluding with an account examining human colonization of southernmost America. The geological evolution of Chile is the c. 550 million year history of a continental margin over 4000 km long. During his voyage on H.M.S. Beagle, an extended visit to Chile (1834-35) had a profound impact on Charles Darwin, especially on his understanding of volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis.

Proceedings of the 29th International Geological Congress
Author: Tadao Nishiyama
Publisher: VSP
ISBN: 9789067641739
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This Proceedings volume contains papers from three symposia which were held during the 29th International Geological Congress, Kyoto, Japan, 24 August--3 September 1992. From the first symposium --- ''Metamorphic Reactions: kinetics and mass transfer'' --- 5 papers were selected for publication. One of the objectives of the symposium was to clarify the nature of reactions and mass transfer from the viewpoint of kinetics. From the ''Sandstone Petrology in Relation to Tectonics''-symposium, 10 papers were selected and revised for inclusion in this book. The articles reflect the different approaches on the relationship between sandstone composition and tectonic setting. The third symposium in this volume --- ''Evaporite and Desert Environment'' consists of 8 selected papers. The papers summarize the relationship between various desertification factors and the dynamics of different regions, and the classification of these regions according to their geological and mineralogical factors.
