The [course_title] course teaches you the principles of Thermodynamics to interpret the physical conditions of formation and modification of igneous and metamorphic rocks. You will learn about the phase equilibria of homogeneous and heterogeneous systems and thermodynamic modelling of non-ideal crystalline solutions. The processes that lead to the formation of metamorphic and igneous rocks in the major tectonic environments in the Earth’s crust and mantle will also be explained in the course.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
