Course title:	Physical geology
Name in Polish:	Geologia dynamiczna
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Geology
Course groups:
ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	3.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	Polish
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	Student shall complete the course in Physical Geology in the winter semester.
Short description:	The course teaches identifying most common rocks and rock-forming minerals by a macroscopic method. In the second part of the course, students learn interpreting geological maps and constructing geological cross-sections.
Full description:	Classes consist of two topics. 1. Macroscopic identification of minerals and rocks: diagnostic features of minerals and recognition of selected minerals; description of the rocks, their textures and composition; classification and identification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks; regional varieties of different rock types and their occurrences in Poland. 2. Basics of interpretation of geological maps: principles of cartographic methods of the geological structure presentation (geological maps, cross-sections, lithological logs); main types of tectonic structures: homocline, folds, faults, unconformities (disconformity, discordance, nonconformity, paraconformity); identification of tectonic structures on geological maps; principles of the cross-section constructing.

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 methods and 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
