Course objectives
Subject offers the knowledge of the origin and development of igneous and metamorphosed rocks in different tectonomagmatic conditions. The subject arises from the modern theories and models of Earth mantle and crust, plate tectonics and plate rozhraní. Rock assemblages are studied comprehensively relative to the given tectonomagmatic cycle.
Syllabus
  • Magmatic activity: sources, basic meanings (province, suite, series, formation). Importance of formation analysis. Magmatic formations of oceanic crust, magmatic formations of continantal crust. Oceanic formations: oceanic islands, oceanic arcs and margins of continents. Continental formations: orogenic continental margins, intracontinental orogenic belts. Distribution of trace elements between melt and minerals, distribution of trace elements in igneous rocks, partial melting, contamination, crust and mantle heterogeneity. Isotopic composition on the example of granitoidal rocks. Contamination: assimilation of melts, assimilation without melts. Reaction between magmatic melt and assimilated material - example of granitic magmas: with pelitic material, with material rich for CaO, with basic igneous rocks. Petrographic and geochemical characteristics of contaminated rocks. Basic importance of contamination (contamination of granites and gabros). Zones of melting, mixing of simillar magmas, mixing of different magmas. Basic magma reacting with pelitic material, with psamitic material, with acidic igneous rocks. Primary sources: Experimental partial melting of pyrolite, melting of peridotites anf eclogites without presence of fluid phase, with present fluids, heterogeneity of the mantle. Secondary sources: differentiation, contamination - basalts. Petrotectonic assemblages and their relation to metalogenesis example of specified igneous rocks. Geotectonic position of individual types of metamorphism: regional medium-pressure metamorphism and continental orogenic regions, contact metamorphism, mid-ocean ridges, HP/LT metamorphism, subduction zones, UHP metamorphism Analysis of relationships between metamorphism and deformation Determination of P-T conditions of metamorphism, evidence for equilibrium in metamorphism, geothermobarometry Metamorphic P-T-t paths, petrogenetic grids, reconstruction of P-T paths, geochronology, examples Metasomatism, open versus closed systems in nature, diffusion and infiltraion proceses. Anatexis I melting of rocks in the crust, phase relations, role of water and fluids in melting, degree of melting, mineralogical and chemical composition of protolith and melt, examples. Anatexis II mineralogical and chemical composition of restites, phase relations, petrogenetic grids, estimation of Pt conditions of melting, examples. Significance of the invariant point in petrology, examples from metacarbonates, phase relations, petrogenetic grids, examples.
