Goals Determination of mineralogical composition and textural properties of rocks by using hand specimens and thin sections of magmatic and metamorphic rocks from rocks forming earth crust to make rock names. In metamorphic rocks, facies mineral zones and possible rocks of origin are aimed to be determined.
Course Content Determination of mineralogical and textural aspects of rocks, calculation of modal mineralogical compositions and nomenclature of rocks, classification of rock degradation types, classification of metamorphic rocks in terms of textural orientations, facies, mineral zones, pressure and temperature and determination of possible rocks according to mineral paragenesis.
Learning Outcomes 1) History of petrography, structure of earth, classificatioün of rocks, rock cycle and rock forming minerals
2) Identifying mineralogical and textural compositions of rocks using hand samples and thin sections
3) Relations of rock color and mineralogical composition, geological emplacement of magmaric bodies
4) Magma and its properties, forming of magma, solidification phases, magmatic cycle, magmatic differentiation, assimilation and mixing processes of magma
5) Calculation of modal mineralogical compositions and nomenclature of rocks
6) Identification of alteration processes and types
7) Identification of subvolcanic rocks
8) Identification of pyroclastic rocks and classification, textural properties and their nomenclature using textural properties and mineralogical compositions
9) Definition of metamorphism, metamorphic processes, factors effect metamorphism and types
10) Textural classification of metamorphic rocks, determining protoliths of metamorphic rocks using metamorphism facies, mineral zone, temperature and pressure terms
