Subject of course

  • structure and composition of the Earth, in particular of the lithospheric plates,
  • plate tectonics as origin of rock formation,
  • weathering and erosion, hydrogeological aspects of selected rocks

Teaching methods

This lecture is in presence, and the slides used in each lecture will be provided in advance through the TUWEL page of the lecture and can be used as a script. Demonstrations of some important concepts will be conducted using laboratory and field instruments.

Examination modalities

The lecture is evaluated through a short presentation (15 minutes) at the end of the semester - the students can work this presentation individually or in small groups (up to three persons per team). The presentation refers to the explanation of a geological feature or activity selected by each team.
