Course Overview
The Petrology Certification process takes into account both field-found naturally occurring rocks and laboratory analytical data that adequately explains how they arise in nature.
In Petrology Classes you'll learn about the texture, structure, and shapes of igneous rocks as well as a general overview of the rock cycle and petrology. You will also comprehend how igneous rocks are classified chemically and mineralogically.
Students' comprehension of the principles and processes involved in the formation and development of rocks is undoubtedly improved by the Petrology Certification Syllabus.
All students get a Petrology Certification by Doctor Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar Madhya Pradesh under the Swayam Initiative by the Government of India.

What you will learn
You’ll learn about the concept of magma in this Petrology Certification Course along with its composition, origin, and crystallisation. It also discusses magmatic separation and assimilation as well as Bowen's reaction series.
Petrology Training teaches the basic ideas behind how sedimentary rocks develop, have textures, and are organised, along with how to classify sedimentary rocks based on their texture, composition, origin, and occurrence - you can further have a look at Geography Certification Courses.
The following learning outcomes are achieved upon the successful conclusion of this Petrology Certification:
- Describe the idea of sediment and the steps that sedimentary rocks go through to create.
- Sort sedimentary rocks according to their texture, composition, classification, source, and location.
- Describe the different types, degrees, and facies of metamorphism.
Who it is for

Instructors
DHSGSU Sagar Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Because it sheds light on the environmental factors that influenced rock formation, the composition of minerals, and the interactions between different mineral grains, petrography is important.
Online classes and lectures are preferred modes.
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary petrology are the three branches of petrology.
The instructor for this course is Professor (Dr.) Harel Thomas.
In order to understand how previous Earth activities may affect current ones, petrologists investigate rocks because they provide information about the Earth's geological past and origin.
