Abstract
This chapter reviews some of the basic notions and equations describing thermodynamics of solids. Particular attention is paid to questions related to the elasticity and thermal equations of solids (especially at high pressures and temperatures) and phenomenology of phase transitions. Examples of applications of these ideas include modeling the thermal structure of the Earth's core and mantle, elucidation of the origin of the anisotropy of the D″ region, and a schematic picture of the effects of the spin transition of iron impurities on the properties of iron-bearing minerals in the Earth's mantle.
