Deposits of Kaustobiolites

Summary

A theory of the origin of kaustobiolite deposits. Coal formation, oil
formation and parameters of coalification and bituminisation.
Micropetrographical and macropetrographical coal classification. Physical and
chemical properties of kaustobiolites, chemical-technological classification
of brown and hard coal. the geology of coal deposits, its basic terms (primary
and secondary structures, cyclic sedimentation, changes in coal matter,
anomalous events in coal basins) and the influence upon the management of
exploration, development and exploitation of coal deposits. The
classification of coal basins and the environments of their origin, the
identification and correlation of coal seams and its importance. The geology
of deposits of natural hydrocarbons and its basic terms (elements and the mode
of deposit traps, types of deposit traps, underground storages). The geology
of fossil fuels of the Czech Republic. The geology of world deposits of fossil
fuels. Reserves of fossil fuels and prognoses of their development.
