This course is
designed to achieve the general objectives in the form of outputs that the
student is supposed to acquire after successfully completing the course, as
follows:
1.
Introducing
rock units in terms of their natural properties, their chronological
arrangement, and methods of determining relative and absolute geological age.
2.
Study
and analysis of different sedimentary textures as well as a statistical and
descriptive petrographic study.
3.
Study
of sedimentary environments in terms of origin, properties and different
sedimentation processes.
4.
How
to work stratified column in different ways and different correlation types.
