This book, conceived by N.M.S., is patterned after "The Atlas and Glossary of Primary Sedimentary Structures" by F. J. Pettijohn and P. E. Potter. We introduce this atlas with a chapter by the late Arie Poldervaart treating the principal concepts of volcanoes as landforms, followed by a main section of photographs of volcanic structures and features arranged in 198 Plates, and then conclude with an updated glossary of terms associated with volcanology, its processes and products. The atlas is, in a sense, an outgrowth of the expanding interest in volcanology recently stimulated by the exploration of neighboring planetary bodies in the solar system. we hope that this atlas will serve as an aid to those engaged in learning or teaching the fundamentals of geology and its sub fields, such as petrology or geophysics. To this end we have attempted to create a book simple and general enough to be useful even at the secondary school level, but with sufficient detail and rigor to be acceptable to both students and professors in the universities.

The first work of its kind, Volcanic Reservoirs in Petroleum Exploration summarizes the current research and exploration techniques of volcanic reservoirs as a source of oil and gas. With a specific focus on the geological features and development characteristics of volcanic reservoirs in China, it presents a series of practical exploration and evaluation techniques based on this research. Authored by an award-winning petroleum geologist, it introduces exploration and outcome prediction techniques that can be used by scientists in any volcanic region worldwide. Volcanic reservoirs as new sources of petroleum resources are a hot topic in petroleum exploration. Although volcanic rock cannot generate hydrocarbons, it can serve as a reservoir for hydrocarbons when conditions permit. This book explains the differences between volcanic reservoirs and other major reservoir types, and describes effective methods for examining volcanic distribution and predicting volcanic reservoirs, providing a framework for systematic studies throughout the world. Includes an entire section dedicated to current trends in volcanic prediction and evaluation technology More than 90 full-color photos illustrate the text in greater detail Case studies conclude each chapter, helping scientists apply the book's concepts to real-life scenarios

For most of us, igneous rocks are no more than a stone’s throw away. These underrated rocks make up more than half of Earth’s crust! Not only that, but they have many uses in building, medicine, and other industries. This title dives deep into the properties, types, formation, and uses of igneous rocks. Special features designed to visually engage readers such as a profile, an activity, formation diagrams, and a rock cycle chart, complete this fact-filled read.

As a huge volcano erupts, scorching-hot lava pours down its slopes. Soon, however, the lava will cool and become solid rock. This book explores how igneous rock is formed from magma, featuring a clear, accessible, step-by-step explanation of the process. Readers will not only learn about different types of igneous rock, they will also be introduced to some amazing igneous rock formations, as well as find out how people use this special kind of rock. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of an early elementary audience, this colorful, fact-filled volume gives readers a chance to learn and develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. From stunning photographs to high-interest facts about igneous rocks, this book makes learning about Earth’s geology a lively, engaging experience.
