This is not the current course catalog
Class Details
The origin of metamorphic, plutonic, and volcanic rocks are examined in the light of field evidence and experimental work. Rock texture and composition are used to interpret the environment of formation of individual rock types, and important assemblages are related, where possible, to theories of global tectonics.
Laboratory work emphasizes the study of individual rock units and rock suites in hand specimens and by petrographic and x-ray techniques.
