Aim of the course

To familiarize students with the basics of geology and geomorfology.

Prerequisites

Formal: none. Informal: knowledge of geography and physics in high school.

Scope

The program of lectures: Place of earth sciences in the natural sciences. The history of the Universe. The geological structure of the Earth. Age of the Earth and the age of the rocks. Endogenous processes: magmatism, metamorphism, earthquakes, tectonics, movements górotwórcze, geotectonics global. Exogenous processes: weathering, geological activity of rivers, oceans, glaciers and wind. Applied geology: hydrogeology, geophysics, geological engineering and geology raw. The share of geological processes in shaping the face of the earth and environmental engineering. Laboratory program: The physical characteristics of minerals. Recognition of minerals. Recognition of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. The use of minerals and rocks in the economy.

Teaching methods

Lecture: Informative multimedial presentation. Practicals: laboratory training

Assignment conditions

The basis for the completion of the laboratory are: attendance at all classes, systematic preparation for classes, positive credit colloquia. The final evaluation of the laboratory is the arithmetic mean of the marks obtained in the two tests; - identifying minerals and rocks. Recognition of minerals. Each student receives three minerals to identify. For each of them should include: name, chemical formula, density, hardness, fracture, cleavage, crack, color, luster, reactivity, presence in Poland and in the world and uses. For which a student may receive 11 pts. The basis for the completion of the lecture are the positive results of the checks carried messages as agreed with the teacher at the beginning of lectures (final test, test, oral response).
