To know: - modern approaches and concepts of petrology; - features of crystallization from the magma and classification and nomenclature of igneous rocks; - the basic of thermodynamics - to explain how magma is generated in the Earth's mantle. To be able to: - define petrological basic concepts of modern research methods in Petrology - interpret phase diagrams to find out the conditions of formation and crystallization of magmatic melt; - explain how magma is generated in the Earth's mantle - interpret the geologic history of igneous rocks based on mineral assemblage and structures

Full-time form

Students must have skills and knowledge of the theoretical foundation of mineralogy, basics petrology, basics chemistry and physics

The aim of the discipline –- is designed to form in students the ability to understand, analyze and investigate the processes of formation of the entire endogenous substrate conditioned by the internal life of planet Earth - associations of igneous, metamorphic, metasomatic rocks, their relationship with global geodynamic regimes and other geological phenomena that have arisen in the lithosphere of the Earth from the moment of its formation to the present day. Creating and using phase equations and phase diagrams to model processes and determine pressure, temperature, and fluid conditions in igneous and metamorphic systems.

Lectures, seminars, self-studying work of student

Form of student evaluation: 1. Semester grading: modul 1 - (min - 6, max - 10 grades), modul 2 - (min - 6, max - 10 grades), oral reports - (min - 24, max - 40 grades). 2. Final assessment(exam) in form of the written test (min - 24, max - 40grades). Final evaluation is in the form of a Exam (total score of discipline (max 100 grades) is defined as the sum for the systematic work during the semester). For students who have obtained total grades less than critically-calculated minimum of 40 grades repeated control test is obligatory for taking the test. For admission to the final grading it is obligatory: 1) to pass two modul ; 2) to prepare 5 oral reports, which can be presented in the form of presentations and abstracts. The final grading is carried out in the form of exam (written test).
