Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This remarkable book presents the findings of a groundbreaking investigation into the elastic constants of various types of rocks, particularly as they pertain to cubic compressibility. By employing a novel method of simple compression, the author meticulously measured the strain and elasticity of rock specimens. These measurements shed new light on the behavior of rocks under stress, revealing their ability to undergo cubic compression under the immense pressures found within the Earth's crust. The author's meticulous approach and extensive data provide valuable insights into the physical properties of rocks, particularly the acid plutonic and basic plutonic varieties, making this book an indispensable resource for geologists, geophysicists, and anyone interested in the behavior of rocks under extreme conditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
