The Petrology of the Sedimentary Rocks: a Description of the Sediments and their Metamorphic Derivatives
Petrology is the study of rocks - igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary - and the processes that form and transform them. Mineralogy is the study of the chemistry, crystal structure and physical ...
Igneous and metamorphic petrology represent two fundamental branches of geological science that elucidate the formation, transformation, and evolution of Earth’s solid materials. Igneous petrology ...

Metamorphic rocks are more than just beautiful formations — they’re time capsules that capture the heat, pressure, and chemical changes deep within Earth. From recording ancient tectonic collisions to ...
Sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces of older rocks (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and organic remains (shells, bone, etc.). When rocks break apart from erosion they are transported by ...
The Rock Cycle is Earth's great recycling process where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all be derived from and form one another. Analogous to recycling a Coke can, where an old can ...
Introduction -- Physical properties of magma -- Intrusion of magma -- Forms of igneous bodies -- Cooling of igneous bodies and other diffusion processes -- Classification of igneous rocks -- ...
John Brady is a hardrock geologist who regularly teaches a first-year seminar and intermediate geoscience courses in mineralogy and petrology. His research interests range from the evolution of ...
