Dictionary of Geology and Mineralogy

---

The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Geology and Mineralogy provides a compendium of
more than 9000 terms that are central to a broad range of geological sciences
and related fields. The coverage in this Second Edition is focused on the areas
of geochemistry, geology, geophysics, mineralogy, paleobotany, paleontology,
and petrology, with new terms added and others revised as necessary.
Geology deals with the solid earth and the processes that formed and modified
it as it evolved. Related disciplines include the study of the physics of the
earth (geophysics); earth chemistry, composition, and chemical changes (geochemistry);
the composition, properties, and structure of minerals (mineralogy);
the description, classification, origin, and evolution of rocks (petrology);
and the study of ancient life (paleontology).
All of the definitions are drawn from the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and
Technical Terms, Sixth Edition (2003). Each definition is classified according to
the field with which it is primarily associated; if it is used in more than one
area; it is identified by the general label [GEOLOGY]. The pronunciation of each
term is provided along with synonyms, acronyms, and abbreviations where
appropriate. A guide to the use of the Dictionary appears on pages vii-viii,
explaining the alphabetical organization of terms, the format of the book,
cross referencing, and how synonyms, variant spellings, abbreviations, mineral
formulas, and similar information are handled. The Pronunciation Key is provided
on page x. The Appendix provides conversion tables for commonly used
scientific units as well as revised geologic time scale, periodic table, historical
information, and useful listings of geological and mineralogical data.
It is the editors’ hope that the Second Edition of the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of
Geology and Mineralogy will serve the needs of scientists, engineers, students,
teachers, librarians, and writers for high-quality information, and that it will
contribute to scientific literacy and communication.
