Course objectives
The aim the subject is the presentation of basic scientific knowledge of geology and geomorphology to students. The essential information about the Earths crust, processes of its formation, structure and the introductory rock classification will be provided in geological part of lectures. Main endogenous and exogenous terrain forming processes and land form classes will be treated in the geomorphologic section of the subject. Finally the transfer options for the geological and geomorfological knowledge to the secondary school pupils will be demonstrated. Students are able to distinguish basic rocks, assess their significance for the landscape and identify the types and forms of relief and evaluate them in terms of importance for the formation of natural and cultural landscapes.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course the student will be able to: 1. Describe the basic parameters of the geological structure of the Earth. 2. Know the basic groups of geological processes. 3. Identify the main groups of rocks. 4. Work with a geological map and compile a regional geographical text on the geological structure of the area and its relation to the relief. 5. Have a general overview on basic classification of geological sciences. 6. Know the basic groups of genetic terrain forming processes. 7. Define the hierarchical system of territorial geomorphological objects and processes of their formation. 8. Know the types of Earth surface and describe examples of them using by their characteristic froms. 9. Know the basic sciences division geomorphological sciences. 10. To analyze relief in topographic maps.
