Key Equations

$$G = \frac{\Delta r}{\Delta t} \approx 1\text{--}10 \;\text{mm/Myr}$$
$$M_{\text{metal}} = \int\!\!\int_A \rho_A(x,y) \cdot g_{\text{metal}}(x,y) \, dA$$
$$\text{SI} = \log_{10}\!\left(\frac{\text{IAP}}{K_{sp}(T, P)}\right), \quad \text{precipitation when SI} > 0$$
$$\ln P_{eq} = \frac{A}{T} + B$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
