Detailed Course Content

• Petrography
  

  Petrography and petrology, basic concepts; composition, structure and classification of igneous rocks; generation and differentiation of magmas; magmatic petrotectonic association. Sedimentary rocks: basic concepts and methodology; classification of sedimentary rocks. Definition, conditions and types of metamorphism; metamorphic process and metamorphic rocks.

• MODULO DI LAB. DI PETROGRAFIA
  

  Hand sample and thin section identification and description of the structural and mineralogical features of the main magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Characterization and classification of the main magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks through the elaboration of structural and mineralogical data. Handling and interpretation of geochemical data aimed to the petrographic characterization of the rocks.
