Petrologia Sedimentar e Sedimentologia

The general objectives of this course are:

- to know the origins of sediments and to characterize the genetic conditions of deposition and formation of sedimentary rocks.

- to identify and characterize the processes of weathering and alteration , erosion, transport, deposition and diagenesis of sediments.

- to describe and characterize the sedimentary rocks and to know to apply the systematics of sedimentary rocks.

- to characterize and interpret sedimentary environments and sedimentation models.

- to know the economic importance of sedimentary geological resources.
