Course objectives
The aim of the subjecy is to train practical abilities in geology, soil science necessary for distinguishing individual rock classes, soil taxons, work with geological, soil and topographic map as well as for simplified assessment of Earth crust, soil and terrain 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. Completing the geological and soil maps of the area of interests. Students are able to work with geological, geomorphological and soil maps, are able to reliably detect selected relief parameters based on the evaluation of topographic maps; in the field they are able to distinguish basic rocks, soil types and kinds and specify their relationships to the relief.

Teaching methods
practical exercises
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 and soil maps of the student home area and results both of cartographic terrain analysis and land form mapping. After these results are delivered, credits are submitted.
