Sedimentary Petrology

This book titled “Sedimentary Petrology” is designed to improve the understanding of the formation and evolution of sedimentary basins and their sedimentation as well as associated plate tectonics and past climate changes. This book focuses on sedimentation paleogeographic changes and resulting stratigraphic evolution which have occurred or are occurring in all types of sedimentary basins. In addition it aims to collate works focusing on igneous and metamorphic rocks genetically related with basin-forming or -destructing and crustal deformation.The book aims to cover a wide range of topics related to sedimentary rocks including their formation composition classification and geological significance. Special emphasis is placed on the processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks such as weathering erosion transportation deposition and diagnosis. The book is designed to be a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students studying sedimentary geology as well as for researchers and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of sedimentary processes and rocks. It aims to present complex geological concepts in a clear and concise manner making it accessible to readers with varying levels of expertise in the field.
