Course Objectives:
Introducing with the both, macroscopically and microscopically identification of rock fabric (texture and structure), mineral composition and introducing with the main igneous and metamorphic rocks. |
Learning Outcomes:
Qualifying for direct practical work in the field and in the laboratory (determination of rocks and petrographic analyses: texture, structure,mineral composition). Preparation for higher levels of studies. |
Content:
Theory teaching
Introduction. Rock-forming minerals. Igneous rocks: mode of their occurrence, fabric (texture and structure), classification. Main groups of igneous rocks: intrusive, volcanic and vein rocks.
Metamorphic rocks: fabric, division, mineral composition. Petrology of regional-metamorphic rocks. Petrology of contact-metamorphic rocks. Petrology of wall-rock alterations. Economic importance, geotectonic setting and their distribution, particularly in Serbia. Practical teaching
Macroscopic and microscopic determinations (texture, structure, mineral composition and determination). |
