Physics and chemistry of the deep Earth / Shun-Ichiro Karato. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

pt. 1. Materials' properties -- pt. 2. Compositional models -- pt. 3. Geophysical observations and models of material circulation.

Though the deep interior of the Earth (and other terrestrial planets) is inaccessible to humans, we are able to combine observational, experimental and computational (theoretical) studies to begin to understand the role of the deep Earth in the dynamics and evolution of the planet. This book brings together a series of reviews of key areas in this important and vibrant field of studies. A range of material properties, including phase transformations and rheological properties, influences the way in which material is circulated within the planet. This circulation re-distributes key mat.
