La géothermométrie est en rapport avec la volcanologie mais elle en déborde largement. Elle traite de la température du globe et de l'effet de la température sur les processus physiques et chimiques, ainsi que du flux de chaleur. Elle comprend l'étude des sources de la chaleur terrestre [...] 4, record 1, French, - g%C3%A9othermom%C3%A9trie

Geological Thermometry (Geothermometry).- The amount of ionic substitution of one cation for another in a mineral can be a function of the temperature of formation of the mineral ... Certain minerals can be used as an indicator of temperature of formation of that mineral or a related assemblage of minerals - sphalerite, (Fe,Zn)S is an example of this in which the concentration of Fe is directly proportional to the temperature of formation ... Although (Fe,Zn)S is a solid solution, FeS and ZnS are not isomorphic. 3, record 3, English, - solid%2Dsolution%20geothermometry
