| Summary |
|---|
| Students will be acquainted with the nature and classification of geological hazards in terms of their application in geotourism practice. The subject will be taught in such a way that the individual geological hazards will first be explained in general and then their examples from around the world will be presented, so that students can apply the principles thus obtained in other tourist localities with analogous geological hazards. First, endogenous geological hazards, such as tectonic movements, earthquakes and volcanic activity, will be discussed. In the second part, exogenous geological hazards will be discussed, such as slope movements, erosion-accumulation phenomena, volume changes of rocks, sedimentation and structural collapse of soils, soil liquefaction, karsting, subsidence, etc. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of this subject is to teach students to work with information related to geological hazards. These represent exogenous or endogenous geodynamic processes affecting the terrain surface so that they are an important geomorphological factor creating the relief of the earth's surface or also affecting human structures. Students will learn to use the information obtained in presentations to tourist clients, when performing in geoparks or monuments that are affected by geological hazards. Both of these uses represent important tourist information that students will be able to use in their future practice. |
