Synopses & Reviews
This new edition reflects the great progress made over the past seventeen years, such as the discovery of dramatic undersea hydrothermal vents. It provides users with a solid theoretical understanding of the geochemistry of hydrothermal ore deposits.
Describes a key process in the generation of ore deposits.
-- Incorporates most recent research findings.
-- Includes a disk containing data on the chemical and physical properties of hydrothermal fluids.
Synopsis
This thoroughly revised and expanded new edition incorporates the most recent research findings on the subject, such as the discovery of dramatic undersea hydrothermal vents. It describes the key process in the generation of ore deposits and emphasizes solid theoretical understanding.
