Course objectives
The aim of the subjecy is to train practical abilities in geology necessary for distinguishing individual rock classes, work with geological map as well as for simplified assessment of Earth crust features for practical purposes. Students will learn practice in educational transformation of geological knowledge into secondary school curriculum. Practical exercises in geomrorphology are focused morfometric processing of basic topograpical maps of Czech Republic.Geomorphological mapping in the field is a part of the subject.

Assessment methods
The education runs both in the class room and during individual work of the student. The task of the subject is represented by the construction of the geological map of the student home area and results both of cartographic terrain analysis and land form mapping. After these results are delivered, credits are submitted.
