Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. to know the theoretical principles of general mineralogy; 2. to know the diagnostic signs of the most common minerals
Course content
The course of the discipline provides information on the laws of formation, transformation or destruction of mineral individuals and aggregates; modern approaches and theories regarding the initiation of growth, the transformation of minerals, as well as typomorphic features and associations of minerals that make up rocks and ores of various origins are considered. The purpose of the discipline is to acquaint students with the basic concepts of genetic mineralogy, to expand and deepen students' knowledge in the field of modern science of mineral genesis, which is the basis of the theory of mineral, rock, ore formation processes.
