Subject syllabus
Geology - disciplines and methods. The rock cycle. Endogenous and exogenous
dynamic of the Earth. Earth crust - plate tectonics. Fundamental principles of
stratigraphy and sedimentology - bedding, formations etc. Secondary
structures -
Fold, Faults and other records of rock deformation. Earthquakes. Magmatism -
magma and classification of magmatic body`s structures. Volcanism.
Metamorphosis. Exogenous dynamic - weathering, erosion, soil profiles. Surface
processes. Mass wasting - preventing landslides. Hydrologic cycle and
groundwater - fundamental principles of mutual interaction.
