Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students should know the main tectonic structures and to find relationships between them. The object is to arouse curiosity of young researchers, indicate ambiguities in the interpretation and attempts to solve the problems of tectonic.
Assessment criteria
The basic criterion for assessing the knowledge of the knowledge gained in lectures.
