Learning outcomes
|
The object of the course is to learn the elements of geomorphological processes which are forming the earth relief. Students will gradually gain knowledge about the opposing effects of endogenous and exogenous geomorphological forces on the earth's georelief. They will gain knowledge about the effect of man on the earth's georelief. They will get acquainted with the systemic links between the components of the landscape and also with the protection of inanimate nature and the issue of geoheritage.
Student competences after graduation of the subject result especially from the aims of the subject (see.) and the content of the subject (see.).
