Course objectives
The purpose of subject is familiarization with bases of geology, pedology and hydropedology. The part geology present genesis and the structure of earth body, compound and earth crust development with the relation to regional geology of the Czech Republic, geological activity of endogenous and exogenous forces, the basic geomorphologic forms and relief, rock-forming minerals, rocks and their genesis, disintegration, distribution and movement of the elements (geochemical processes). In next part, part pedology, students are familiarize with environmental and productive function of the soil, soil-forming factors, conditions of the pedogenesis, physical, chemical and biological properties of the soils, pedogenetic processes, character of the soil type groups, classification, main features of the soil world geography, methods of recognition and information system on the soil. The set of lectures include problems of hydrology - enlargement and circulation of water in the Earth, river hydrology and hydrology of the ground water.
Syllabus
  • 1. The genesis and the structure of earth body (nucleus, mantle, continental and oceanic crust), chemical compound of geospherics, earth crust development (azoic, archaic, proterozoic, paleozoic, mesozoic, cenozoic) with the relation to regional geology of the Czech Republic (Bohemian Massive, Western Carpats). 2. Geological work of exogenous (disintegrate, slope movements, work of rain water, stream, sedimentation, ground water, geological work of wind, frost, lakes, sea) and endogenous forces (magmatismus, metamorphosis, tectonics, earth-quake) 3. Rock-forming minerals (silicates, oxides, carbonates, phosphates, halogens, sulphides, sulphates, elements, organic minerals), rocks (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic), classification of the parent rocks, the genesis of the rocks (magmatism, sedimentation, metamorphosis). 4. Disintegration of rocks (disintegration mechanical, chemical and biological, dependence of the disintegration on the rocks properties, climate, types of disintegration, fossil disintegration), distribution and movement of the elements (geochemical processes). 5. Introduction to the pedology (the definition of the soil, environmental and productive function of the soil, soil-forming factors, conditions of the pedogenesis, the movement of the elements). 6. Physical properties of the soils (mineralogy composition of soils, soil texture, soil granularity, solid, liquid and fluid phase, temperature conditions, the color) 7. Chemical and physic - chemical properties of the soils (the content, appearance, function of the elements, soil solution, dissolving processes, soil colloids, cation exchange capacity, saturation of the sorbent complex, sorption of cation, anions, soil reactions, puphration, oxidative - reduction conditions). 8. Organic share of the soil (soil organisms, their activity, main represents, transformation, carbon and nitrogen movement in the soil, organic matter in soil, forming, composition and sorting of the humus). 9. Pedogenetic processes (definition, principle, system and classification), diagnostic backdrops and properties of the soils. 10. Character of the soil type groups, classification (FAO, MKSP), main features of the soil world geography, methods of recognition and information system on the soil (DZP, GIS, monitoring). 11. Hydrology and its division, enlargement and circulation of water in the Earth. 12. River hydrology, (hydrologic character of the river - basin, river network and river trough), hydrology of the ground water (sources, types of water in rocks, rocks properties as an environment for the ground water movement).
