Introduction to geology, geological disciplines. Dynamic geology - endogenous geology, magmatism, tectonics, metamorphism and plate tectonics. Exogenous geology - weathering, activity of surface and ground water, activity of glaciers and frost, eolic activity, karst phenomena, activity of seas and lakes. Environmental geofactors. Main rock-forming minerals, classification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Introduction to geomorphology, typing and classification of earth surface shapes. Influence of geological structure on relief and basic structural forms of relief. Relief of horizontal, vertical, folded, fault and volcanic structures, karst (endokras / exokras), anthropogenic relief. Morphological activity of water, glaciers, wind. General classification, importance and brief history of hydrology, meteorology and climatology, national and world scientific organizations. Water cycle (circulation) on Earth, components of water cycle - precipitation, evaporation, runoff etc. Origin and forms of groundwater. Concept of climate system, stratification and composition of the atmosphere, solar radiation and energy balance, temperature and water regime of the atmosphere, atmospheric pressure and circulation, observation of phenomena and processes in the atmosphere, methods of measurement, data collection and processing, weather forecast, climate change.

Learning outcomes
|
The course aims at presenting actual information and procedures from the branch. Major approaches, conceptual and theoretical topics are listed in syllabus.
The students should be able to define the principles of endogenic geology, describe processes active in exogenic geology, define geofactors of the environment, identify main rock-forming minerals and rocks, describe types and classify the shapes of the earth's surface, describe the morphological activity of water, wind, glaciers, etc. Orientation in patterns, time and space distribution, circulation and resources of water on Earth, including physical, chemical and biological properties of water. Orientation in basic terms and problems of meteorology and climatology.
