Extract

PETROGENIC problems concern the processes and effects of adding to magma, or subtracting from it, rock-forming substance in general. Increment or loss of silica alone entails relatively simple mineralogical consequences. The more intricate problems concern the addition of associated material (notably alumina, the Ro-oxides, alkalies, and fluxes) in varying relative proportions, and at any stage in the evolution of rest-magma. These additions tend either to promote, counter, or otherwise modify the prevailing trend of differentiation in magma thus augmented.
