Syllabus
  • Origin of the metamorphic rocks. Geotectonic environments of the metamorphism: metamorphism in the oceanic crust, metamorphism in the continental crust. Metamorphic processes: the temperature, pressures and time factors. Phases and etapes of the metamorphism.Metamorphic intensity and grade. Origin and development of the minerals during the metamorphosis. Origin and grows of the minerals, distribution of the elements between the metamorphic minerals. Composition of the metamorphic minerals. Origin and development of the minerals during the metamorphosis II. Chemical reactions in the rocks systems. Chemical potentials and migration of the elements. Fluids in the metamorphic processess. Origin and development of the minerals III. Chemical regime of the chemically conservative metamorphism and of the metasomatism. The melting of the rocks. Origin of the metamorphic structures. Mylonites. Principles of the classification and systematics of the metamorphic rocks and their position in petrogenic cycle. The classes of the metamorphic rocks (pelitic, metabasic, carbonate, ultrabazic and organogenic). Convergence of the rocks in metamorphism: amphibolites, quartz felspar metamorphic rocks, garnet-pyroxenic rocks, erlans. Metamorphic processes in the lovel crust and upper mantle. Granulites and eclogites. Migmatization and migmatites. Metamorphic rocks and the development of the Earths crust. Trend of the changes in metamorphic processes, relation between homogenization and differentiation in metamorphism.
