Earth Science - Metamorphic Rocks and Resources from Rocks

This course on Metamorphic Rocks and Resources from Rocks aims to teach learners about the different metamorphic agents such as heat, pressure, stress, and chemically active fluids. By the end of the course, students will be able to identify common metamorphic rocks like slate, phyllite, schist, marble, and quartzite. They will also learn about various rock and mineral resources, including pegmatites, ore deposits, nonmetallic mineral resources, coal, oil, natural gas, and the concept of oil traps. The teaching method involves lectures covering topics such as metamorphic rock textures, foliation, and the metamorphism of limestone. This course is intended for individuals interested in geology, earth sciences, or those looking to expand their knowledge of rocks and mineral resources.
