Course objectives
Subject is assigned for students aimed at petrology, mineralogy and geochemistry. It is important also for the practically oriented branches (technical petrography, geology of deposits, hydrogeology).
Syllabus
  • 1) Deep structure of the lithosphere. The Earth crust, mantle and core. Asthenopshere. 2) Oceanic and continental lithosphere and lithospheric plates. 3) Geophysical methods in investigation of the Earth's deep structure (seismic and seismologic data, gravity, magnetic and electric methods, geothermal investigation, paleomagnetics). 4) Deep drilling in oceanic crust. 5) Deep drilling in continental crust. 6) Deep drilling on the territory of Czech republic. 7) Contributions of the petrology and geochemistry, petrological models of the lithosphere. 8) Deep structure of the Earth and other cosmic objects. 9) Petrology of the rocks of deep origin I. Exotic xenolits. 10) Petrology of the rocks of deep origin. II. Basalts, ultrabasic rocks, migmatites, granulites and eclogites. 11) Processes in the lithosphere (lithospheric migration of the energy and mass, the evolution of lithosphere, metamorphism, origin of magmas). 12) Lithosphere of the Central Europe.
