Learning outcomes
|
An overview of rock-forming minerals and individual genetic types of rocks.
The students will: - increase their knowledge of main rock-forming minerals - be able to describe methods of petrographic study of rocks - acquire thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of systematic petrography (all common rock types) - become aware of the genesis of magmatic, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks - define the principles of rocks classification systems
