This PowerPoint presentation is part of the Whitman College petrology course. The presentation covers isobaric ternary T-X diagrams (An-Di-Fo), liquidus, intensive variables, cotectic, peritectic, and cooling paths. Solid solution and 4 component diagrams are described as well as the effect of water on melting temperatures. This resource is part of the Teaching Petrology collection.
