Heat Transport and Energetics of the Earth and Rocky Planets
provides a better understanding of the interior of the Earth by
addressing the processes related to the motion of heat in large
bodies. By addressing issues such as the effect of self-gravitation
on the thermal state of the Earth, the effect of length-scales on
heat transport, important observations of Earth, and a comparison
to the behavior of other rocky bodies, readers will find clearly
delineated discussions on the thermal state and evolution of the
Earth. Using a combination of fundamentals, new developments and
scientific and mathematical principles, the book summarizes the
state-of-the-art. This timely reference is an important resource
for geophysicists, planetary scientists, geologists, geochemists,
and seismologists to gain a better understanding of the interior,
formation and evolution of planetary bodies.
