Sylabus
1) Main types of textures in igneous rocks,
2) Minerals (major, minor a accessory) and textures of plutonic rock (granite, granodiorite, diorite, gabbro, peridotite),
3) Microscopy of volcanic rocks (rhyolite, dacite , andesite a basalts),
4) Relationships among minerals and their successive formation during crystallization
5) Autometamorphic and/or metamorphic alteration of igneous rocks,
6) Classification of rocks based mineral modes and textures.
7) Minerals and structures of metamorphic rocks,
8) Metamorphic textures and index minerals in metamorphic rocks,
9) Prograde and retrograde changes in metamorphic rocks,
10) Mineral formation during prograde metamorphism in politic, mafic, quartz-fledspatic, carbonatic and ultramafic rocks.
11)Classification of metamorphic rocks: phyllites, greenschists, blueschists, gneiss, amphibolite, granulites, eclogites and migmatite,
12) Classification and identification of metamorphic rocks based on textures and index minerals.
Anotace
The course includes thin-section microscopy of main rock-forming minerals in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Textural relations among minerals and succession of their crystallization and subsequent replacement as well as formation on new mineral during metamorphism is subject of this course
