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.
