Dyke Swarms: Keys for Geodynamic Interpretation

More about the book

Focusing on the geological significance of dykes, this volume examines their role in continental rifting, crustal extension, and stabilization events. It highlights how extensive dyke swarms contribute to continental reconstructions and the identification of Large Igneous Provinces. The text discusses the connection between dykes and hot mantle plumes, as well as their implications for crust-mantle interactions and the evolution of crustal provinces. Additionally, it explores the association of dykes with valuable economic mineral deposits, providing comprehensive insights into their origin and evolution.
