THE GRANITIZATION PROBLEM The origin of granite and allied rocks has been a controversial topic among geologists and petrologists since 1785. Initially the disputation raged between those supporting A. G. Werner (1750–1817) in his Neptunist theory of the sedimentary origin of granitic rocks and those who followed J. Hutton (1726–1797) in his Plutonist theory of the igneous (magmatic) origin of granites. During the early part of the nineteenth century the controversy was partly resolved in favor of Hutton’s magmatic theory, but during the early years and the last half of the nineteenth century another suggested origin for granitic rocks, the transformist theory, reactivated this controversial subject. Early ideas on high-temperature transformation of rocks (granitization) can be seen in the works of Ami Boué (1794–1881), J. Fournet (1801–1869), and H. Sainte-Claire Deville (1816–1881).

To many earth scientists the characteristic volcanism of
subduction zones consists of large and highly explosive
stratovolcanoes, such as Krakatoa and Mount St Helens,
erupting intermediate to silicic products. Geological evidence,
however, suggests that this is an incorrect picture in
many volcanic arcs. Basalt volcanism can be common, even
dominant. For example most of the Cascades range is in fact
composed of a thick pile of basalt and basaltic andesite lavas.
In Kamchatka the Tolbachik volcano and its associated
fissure swarms provide an excellent example of a basaltic
shield volcano in a continental arc setting. The major
eruption of Tolbachik in 1975 and 1976 was thus an event
of considerable scientific interest. Soviet scientists carried out
an exhaustive study of the eruption and many of the results
are presented in this book
