Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE
1. The student knows the geomorphological processes typical for different types of landscape;
2. The student knows the landforms characteristic of aeolian, glacial, periglacial, fluvial, littoral and slope environments and the processes responsible for their formation;
3. The student knows the most important aspects of geomorphology and the importance of the influence of climate and anthropopressure on the dynamics of processes shaping the surface of the Earth;
SKILLS
1. Student is able to explain the causes of some phenomena observed in nature;
2. The student can present the conditions of the occurrence of some phenomena in geomorphology;
3. The student knows how to apply the measurement methods used in the research of the abiotic environment, taking into account the specificity of its diversification.
ATTITUDES
1. The student understands how important it is to learn the mechanisms of operation of individual processes.
