These
lecture
notes
provide
an
introductory
lesson
in
thermodynamics
to
help
students
better
understand
the
relationships
depicted

phase
diagrams.
The
first
and
third
laws
of
thermodynamics
and
Gibb's
Free
Energy
are
discussed.
Solid-solid
reactions
are
covered
in
the
context
of
the
Sillimanite-Kyanite-Andalusite
P-T
graph.
Devolatization
reactions,
reaction
boundaries,

This
site
contains
a
variety
of
microstructure
projects
conducted
at
the
University
of
Maine.
QuickTime
movies
show
the
modeled
deformation
of
rocks
and
the
development
of
microstructures.
Examples
include
the
initiation
of
ductile
shear
zones,
the
evolution
of
a
simple
shear
zone,
the
effects
of
mica
caps,
and
grain-size
reduction.
Other

This
50
slide
PowerPoint
presentation
introduces
the
basic
structural
facets
of
an
island
arc
system.
Magma
series
(tholeiitic,
alkaline,
calc-alkaline)
and
differentiation
within
magma
series
are
related
to
the
major
elements.
Other
trends
in
magma
series
(spatial,
temporal,
trace
element,
isotope)
are
presented.
Petrogenesis
of
magmas
is
illustrated
in
terms

This
PowerPoint
presentation
is
part
of
the
Whitman
College
petrology
course.
The
presentation
covers
the
origin
of
basaltic
magmas.
Two
types
of
basalt
in
ocean
basins
are
compared
(tholeiitic
and
alkaline).
Composition
of
mantle-derived
magmas
and
sources
of
mantle
material
are
listed.
Discussion
of
how
the
mantle
melts,
touching
on
the
contribution
of
volatiles,
pressure
and
composition,
is
included.

This
83-slide
PowerPoint
presentation
introduces
metamorphic
agents
and
changes.
Stress,
strain,
tension,
compression,
and
shear
are
discussed
as
well
as
the
lineation
or
foliation
that
results
from
such
effects.
Metamorphic
classification
includes
dynamic,
thermal,
thermo-dynamic,
contact,
regional,
and
shock
metamorphism.
Specific
