Learning outcomes
Know: The device of a polarizing microscope and the ability to prepare it for work General provisions of crystal optics Methods of determining the crystal-optical characteristics of minerals in thin sections Be able; Describe and identify minerals in hin sections Describe and define the name of an igneous rock Describe and define the name of a metamorphic rock Describe and define the name of a sedimentary rock Determine the composition and features of the structure of rocks Be able to determine the microstructure of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks Genetic conclusions can be made based on the results of studies of minerals in the hin sections and micro-structural features of the rocks
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful completion of the "Fundamentals of petrography" course Knowledge of the main rock-forming minerals and their physical properties
Course content
While writing the course work, students learn to use in practice the acquired theoretical knowledge of the basics of crystal optics and the practical use of a polarizing microscope for the study of rocks. The main task of the discipline is to master the methods of diagnosing minerals in thin sections, to determine the peculiarities of the structure of rocks and their mineral composition, as well as to draw conclusions about the conditions of formation and further transformation of rocks.
