Diffusive heat transfer; measurement of surface heat flow. Heat sources and sinks: radiogenic heating and release of latent heat during crystallisation of melts; shape of crustal isotherms. Transients; cooling of oceanic crust and mid-ocean ridges; contact metamorphism; intrusion of igneous bodies. Advective transfer; effect of uplift and erosion on the thermal structure of mountain belts. Natural and forced thermal convection of melt in the Earth’s mantle and aqueous fluids in the Earth’s crust. Mass transfer in Earth’s interior; Applications of mass transfer to magma generation and transport; Case studies-ocean ridges, trenches, continental rift systems; mantle plumes.
