Course objectives

The course comprises recent knowledge on structure and development of the Earth, especially of its crust and mantle. There are discussed older and new geological ideas concerning development of the crust, the accent is put on the plate tectonics.

Syllabus

• 1.Definition of geotectonics, lithosphere, asthenosphere, tectonosphere. Crust, mantle, core. Oceanic and continental crust.
• 2. Development of geological and geotectonic ideas before geosynclinal conception.
• 3. Geosynclinal conception, etaps of its development, volcanism, sedimentation, metamorphosis, deformation.
• 4. Wegener and his idea on continental drift.
• 5. Plate tectonics, principal arguments.
• 6. Divergent boundaries, types, morphology, seismicity, volcanism, sedimentation, metamorphosis.
• 7. Convergent boundaries and their characterization.
• 8. Hot spots, genesis, volcanism, distribution on the Earth.
• 9. Wilson cycle. Plate tectonics on planets of our solar system.
• 9. Genesis of the atmosphere and hydrosphere and their development in geological history.
