Course content
|
1. Origin of the Solar system and the Earth. Shape and relief of the Earth. Physical properties of the Earth (gravitation, magnetic field, heat). Vertical movements in lithosphere and mantle, isostasis. 2. Chemical composition of the Earth. General mineralogy. 3. Rock-forming minerals. 4. Rocks and their classification. 5. Earth interior (core, mantle, crust) 6. Hydrosphere, atmosphere. 7. Plate tectonic (convergent and divergent boundaries and associated processes, origin of oceans and mountains). 8. Endogenic processes (magma, mineral origin). 9. Endogenic processes (volcanism). 10. Endogenic processes (tectonism, earthquake). 11. Exogenic processes (rock decay, insolation, gravitation). 12. Exogenic processes (water, ice). 13. Exogenic processes (wind, sea activity).
