Course Objective

The examination and discussion of rock-forming silicate minerals baseb on their optical properties. Chemistry and mineralogy of the relationships between the main igneous rock groups. Normative mineralogy calculation methods. Evaluation of igneous rocks using their rock and mineral chemisty. Interpretation of the igneuos rocks using diagrams.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The ability to identify igneous rock types, based on the chemical and mineralogical characteristics
2   Determination of igneous rock-forming minerals under the polarizing microscope
3   Identification of igneous rock bodies and their magmatic structures
4   Crystallization history of the magma, using petrographic and mineralogical properties
5   Textural properties of minerals and their relationship with magma crystalization
6   Renaming minerals using using their chemical analyzes
7   Interpretation of pressure and temperature of the igneous rocks using mineral and whole rock geochemistry
8   Interpretation of magmatic enviroment using the textural, mineralogical and chemical data of minerals

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Lectures are given by both microscope applications and presentations. In tutorial students study with polarized microscope. Microprobe data of the characteristic minerals such as pyroxene and olivine evaluate using MS excell software.
