Summary

The aim of the subject is to classify rock properties from the point of view of general and physics aspects, compare the individual properties in terms of their causes and explain their contexts, analyze acquired knowledge, deduce individual characteristics from individual laws and compile individual parts of teaching from literary and other sources. To consider the interrelationships between the properties of the rocks and their early and rheological behavior.
