Course objectives
Granitoids can be divided into several types according geochemical characteristic and geotectonic position. The granite met can by forms by the partial melting of metasediments or metamorphosed igneous rocks and other hand are produced by strong fractionation mantle-like magmas. Generation and fractionation granitic melt are the important factors differentiation continental crust. We will discuss topics such as granitoids classification, generation and fractionation granitic melt, effect of fluid phases, behavior same elements (as B, REE, U and other) during evolution granitic melt.
Learning outcomes
The student will acquire a comprehensive overview on the granites, their classifications and their relation to the geotectonic position.
