Syllabus
  • Igneous rocks:
  • Petrotectonic assemblages. Types of crust, continental and oceanic crust, origin of magmas, conditions of ascent and position of magmas, creation of rocks. Chemical restrictions, sources of primary magmas, ascent velocity in lithosphere. Experimental data -petrogenetic meaning of minerals, latice parameters and mineral colours as the source of information of the conditions of mineral creation in rocks, distribution of elements between coexisted minerals, gaseous-liquid inclusions, double-feldspar geothermometer, distribution of Mg, Fe and Ca, Al among the rock forming minerals. Trace elements of igneous rocks and their petrogenetic meaning. Contents of isotopes and the their interpretation.
  • Basalts and ultramafic rocks. Types of basalts and their derivatives, basalt occurence: rift volcanism, volcanism of subduction zones, intra-plate volcanicm. Mineral composition, structures and chemical composition of basalts. Ultramafic igneous rocks. Rhyolites and andesites. Types and derivatives of rhyolites and andesites, occurence of rhyolites: hot spots, rifts, transform and tripple faults, volcanic arcs. Occurence of andesites and corresponding rocks. Mineral and chemical composition, structures of andesites. Ultramafic and mafic complexes and corresponding rocks. Shapes of ultramific and ultramafic-mafic rock bodies. Mineral and chemical composition, structures of ultramafic and mafic complexes. Stratified ultramafic complexes, ophiolite complexes, appinite type of ultramafic rocks.
  • Granitoidal rock. Composition of granitoidal rocks. Structural and chemical variability. Petrogenesis of granitoidal rocks. Occurence of granitoidal rocks, their tectonic meaning and typology. Formation of granitoidal rocks (fractional crystallization, hybridization, granitization).
