Physical geology II 1300-WGEDII-OG
Classes consist of two topics.
1. Macroscopic identification of rocks:
classification and identification of sedimentary rocks;
classification and identification of metamorphic rocks;
regional varieties of different rock types and their occurrences in Poland.
2. Basics of interpretation of geological maps:
main types of tectonic structures: faults and unconformities;
identification of tectonic structures on geological maps;
principles of the cross-section constructing.
Type of course
Prerequisites (description)
Course coordinators
Learning outcomes
Basic practical skills in recognition of common minerals and rocks. Ability of interpretation of geological maps and construction of geological cross-sections.
Assessment criteria
The classes are graded based on the following conditions:
- participation and preparation for classes (mid-semester short tests; 2 absences are allowed)
- positive grades from two written tests
- one graphic work.
The test on rock identification is in written form with open-ended questions and identification of rock specimens. The test on
interpretation of geological maps consists of graphic tasks.
The final grade is the sum of: grades from two written tests each multiplied by 0.387, summative grade from short tests
multiplied by 0.102 and grade for graphic work multiplied by 0.129.
Practical placement
none
