Petrological Processes

---

Petrological Processes examines the fundamental physical and chemical mechanisms that govern the formation, evolution, and transformation of rocks within the Earth’s crust and mantle. The subject covers key processes such as partial melting, magma generation, fractional crystallization, magma mixing, metasomatism, and metamorphic reactions, as well as the role of pressure, temperature, fluids, and time in controlling mineral assemblages and rock textures. By integrating petrography, thermodynamics, phase equilibria, and geochemical principles, petrological studies provide critical insights into igneous and metamorphic rock genesis, crust–mantle interaction, and the broader evolution of the Earth’s lithosphere.
