Course Goal / Objective
Identification, classification and determination of formation environments of volcaniclastic rocks
Course Content
It is the rocks formed by the accumulation of all kinds of fragmented-clastic materials coming out of the volcano during volcanic activities in a storage area as a result of the storage processes. Thus, they encompass both volcanic and sedimentary processes. They are also derived from a volcanic source that is more or less wet by sedimentation.
Course Precondition
There are no prerequisites.
Resources
Lecture notes are uploaded to the cubis.
