Course Description
This course relates plate tectonics to a) volcanoes and magma systems that create them; b) the formation of precious metal and gemstone ores; and c) an understanding of how Earth's materials (minerals, rocks, rock formations, lithospheric plates etc.) respond to stresses and the forces that deform them. Methods of analysis involve studies at the microscopic scale (performed on thin sections) and the mesoscopic scale performed on hand specimens and outcrops. The course includes a day field trip to study an extinct volcano. Practical work includes independent study of igneous systems, rocks and minerals employing both microscope-based techniques and computer modelling.
