plutonic (adj.)
"与地球地壳深处的强烈热量有关或涉及到地球地壳深处的强烈热量",1796年,由爱尔兰科学家理查德·柯尔文(Richard Kirwin,1733-1812)创造,由 Pluto(作为地下神)的组合形式和 -ic 组成。特别是指19世纪初的地质理论(由哈顿支持),该理论将地球地壳的大部分现有特征归因于内部热量的作用,这一理论战胜了其竞争对手 neptunism,后者将这些特征归因于水。相关词汇: Plutonism; Plutonist。
Plutonic rocks are such igneous rocks as have been formed under conditions of depth and pressure, and have cooled slowly, so as to have acquired in general a distinctly crystalline structure ; the term Plutonic is opposed to volcanic, the former designating rocks formed at some depth beneath the surface, the latter rocks of igneous origin but of superficial formation. As used by Lyell, the word is nearly the equivalent of metamorphic. [Century Dictionary, 1895]
冥王岩是指在深度和压力条件下形成并缓慢冷却,以至于通常具有明显的结晶结构的火成岩; 术语 Plutonic 与 volcanic 相对,前者指在地表以下某些深度形成的岩石,后者指火成岩但是表面形成的岩石。在莱尔(Lyell)的使用中,这个词几乎等同于变质的。[世纪词典,1895]
