course
include
familiarizing
the
student
with
the
common,
rock-forming
minerals,
how
to
identify
samples
of
these
minerals,

rocks.
It
also
addresses
igneous
rock
forming
processes,
and
attempts
to
predict
where
igneous
rocks
originate
and
how
they
evolve
by
post
melting
processes
(differentiation).
There
