The aim of the course:
To make students acquainted with knowledge of the igneous processes, identification of the igneous rocks and their classification and nomenclature.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : understand igneous rocks relating to plate tectonics and Earth's structure, and magma generation.1,2,3,4,51,
LO - 2 : develop relationship reasoning based on evidence from structure, texture, mineralogy and chemistry of rocks.1,2,3,5,11,12,13,141,4,
LO - 3 : identify information derived from thin-section and hand-specimen examinations.1,2,3,5,11,12,13,141,4,
LO - 4 : interpret igneous processes, stages, dept, and environmental conditions of magma cooling.1,2,3,5,11,12,13,141,4,
LO - 5 : determine and report various igneous rocks by using nomenclature graphs and diagrams.1,2,3,5,11,12,13,141,4,
LO - 6 : describe igneous rocks and igneous processes by the integration of field, petrographical and petrochemical data1,2,3,5,11,12,13,141,
