• Physical geography (programme PřF, N-FYG)

Course objectives

Tectonic processes play an important role in formation of georelief such as mountains, basins etc. Tectonic geomorphology deals with landforms reflecting the tectonic processes, characterizing of their type and intensity. Besides folding and aseismic creep there are tectonic processes where accumulated energy is released during earthquakes, which represents an important natural hazard. The tectonic processes may trigger or enhance other exogenous geodynamic processes such as landslides, rock falls, increased erosion etc. Understanding of tectonic processes in the past and their role in landforms evolution is important for natural hazard assessment including both endogenous and related exogenous processes, in particular in densely populated regions. Therefore, it is important to pay proper attention to the tectonic processes.

Learning outcomes

Main objectives can be summarized as follows:
- to learn basic tectonic processes and their impact on georelief
- to compare individual tectonic landforms resulted from different tectonic regimes
- to select appropriate methods for tectonic relief analysis
- to analyze fluvial system and slopes with respect to tectonic control evaluation
- to understand principles and methods of paleoseismology
- to infer type of tectonic movements from interdisciplinary data from geomorphology, geology, geodesy, geophysics

Syllabus

• 1. Tectonics and various levels of study of tectonic processes based on spatial and time scales. Definition of active tectonics, tectonic processes and their types resulting from different tectonic regimes related to plate tectonics 2. Earthquakes and their causes, characteristics, primary and secondary effects. Seismic hazard. 3. Tectonic geomorphology, various theories on the role of tectonics in relief formation, types of uplift 4. Various landforms related to different types of movements (vertical or horizontal movements) 5. Response of tectonic processes in fluvial system, drainage basin asymmetry, analysis of stream network. Analysis of tectonically disturbed fluvial landforms - river terraces, alluvial fans, analysis of longitudinal stream profiles and valley cross sections 6. Active mountain fronts. Fault scarps, their evolution, degradation and possibility of their dating 7. Morphometric methods of tectonic relief analysis and evaluation of tectonic processes intensity. Planation surfaces and their different position as an indicator of potential tectonic movements 8. Paleoseismology, study of prehistoric earthquakes from geological record, movements reconstruction. Study of paleoseismic parameters of active faults, movement intensity, slip rate, spatio-temporal earthquake distribution on a fault 9. Geophysical and geodetic methods of active tectonics study, review of methods for present-day movements monitoring

Course objectives

Tectonic processes play an important role in formation of georelief such as mountains, basins etc. Tectonic geomorphology deals with landforms reflecting the tectonic processes, characterizing of their type and intensity. Besides folding and aseismic creep there are tectonic processes where accumulated energy is released during earthquakes, which represents an important natural hazard. The tectonic processes may trigger or enhance other exogenous geodynamic processes such as landslides, rock falls, increased erosion etc. Understanding of tectonic processes in the past and their role in landforms evolution is important for natural hazard assessment including both endogenous and related exogenous processes, in particular in densely populated regions. Therefore, it is important to pay proper attention to the tectonic processes.
Main objectives can be summarized as follows:
- to learn basic tectonic processes and their impact on georelief;
- to compare individual tectonic landforms resulted from different tectonic regimes;
- to select appropriate methods for tectonic relief analysis;
- to analyze fluvial system and slopes with respect to tectonic control evaluation;
- to understand principles and methods of paleosesimology;
- to infer type of tectonic movements from interdisciplinary data from geomorphology, geology, geodesy, geophysics.

Syllabus

• 1. Introduction to tectonic geomorphology, various theories about role of tectonics in relief formation
• 2. Definition of active tectonics, tectonic processes and their types resulting from different tectonic regimes
• 3. Various landforms related to different types of movements (vertical or horizontal movements)
• 4. Response of tectonic processes in fluvial system, drainage basin asymmetry, following increased erosion or accumulation, analysis of stream network
• 5. Analysis of tectonically disturbed fluvial landforms - river terraces, alluvial fans, analysis of longitudinal stream profiles and valley cross sections
• 6. Uplift and mountains origin, their control on relief changes and rates of geomorphological processes, analysis of mountain front
• 7. Fault scarps, their evolution, degradation and possibility of their dating
• 8. Morphometric methods of tectonic relief analysis and evaluation of tectonic processes intensity, planation surfaces and their different position as an indicator of potential tectonic movements
• 9. Paleoseismology, study of prehistoric earthquakes from geological record, movements reconstruction
• 10. Study of paleoseismic parameters of active faults, movement intensity, slip rate, spatiotemporal earthquake distribution on a fault
• 11. Geophysical and geodetic methods of active tectonics study, review of methods for present-day movements monitoring

Course objectives

Tectonic processes play an important role in formation of georelief such as mountains, basins etc. Tectonic geomorphology deals with landforms reflecting the tectonic processes, characterizing of their type and intensity. Besides folding and aseismic creep there are tectonic processes where accumulated energy is released during earthquakes, which represents an important natural hazard. The tectonic processes may trigger or enhance other exogenous geodynamic processes such as landslides, rock falls, increased erosion etc. Understanding of tectonic processes in the past and their role in landforms evolution is important for natural hazard assessment including both endogenous and related exogenous processes, in particular in densely populated regions. Therefore, it is important to pay proper attention to the tectonic processes.
Main objectives can be summarized as follows:
- to learn basic tectonic processes and their impact on georelief;
- to compare individual tectonic landforms resulted from different tectonic regimes;
- to select appropriate methods for tectonic relief analysis;
- to analyze fluvial system and slopes with respect to tectonic control evaluation;
- to understand principles and methods of paleosesimology;
- to infer type of tectonic movements from interdisciplinary data from geomorphology, geology, geodesy, geophysics.

Syllabus

• 1. Introduction to tectonic geomorphology, various theories about role of tectonics in relief formation
• 2. Definition of active tectonics, tectonic processes and their types resulting from different tectonic regimes
• 3. Various landforms related to different types of movements (vertical or horizontal movements)
• 4. Response of tectonic processes in fluvial system, drainage basin asymmetry, following increased erosion or accumulation, analysis of stream network
• 5. Analysis of tectonically disturbed fluvial landforms - river terraces, alluvial fans, analysis of longitudinal stream profiles and valley cross sections
