Oceanic basalts are the most abundant rock type found at the
earth's surface, and as such they have been the subject of
considerable research, particularly since the concept of sea-floor
spreading became widely accepted. This book provides a review of
these rocks, first dicussing how we sample the ocean floor and what
we know about the structure of the oceanic crust, followed by an
overview of the various regional settings (Pacific crust, Atlantic
crust, marginal basins, seamounts and islands) and finally examines
the main processes (and their interactions) which prevail during
the generation and emplacement of oceanic basalt magmas. This is a
volume for geologists, geochemists and geophysicists and a source
of reference for advanced undergraduate students and postgraduates
in these disciplines.
