ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	2.00 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):	The student should know the principles of geology. Basic knowledge of structural analysis, geological mapping, plate tectonics and knowledge gained during geological field courses is required.
Short description:	Definition and classification of tectonic units used in a hierarchic structure of regional sub-divisions. Localization of tectonic units of Poland in the geological structure of Europe. Hierarchic sub-division of Poland into tectonic units and their detailed characteristics.
Full description:	Lecture: Structure of the lithosphere, origin, definitions and classification of high-rank tectonic units within the lithosphere (lithospheric plates, platforms, young orogenic belts). Geotectonic evolution of these units. Rules used in distinguishing lower-rank tectonic units. Sub-division of Poland into tectonic units on a geological map of Poland in the scale of 1:1000000 in two levels: without Cenozoic strata excluding the Carpathians and their foreland and without the Permian-Mesozoic cover. The systematic part presents lower-rank tectonic units in Poland, distinguished within the Precambrian East European Platform, Palaeozoic West European Platform and the Alpides. Geological conditions of reservoir deposits occurring in these units are presented. The role and evolution of the Trans-European Suture Zone is shown. The Carpathians and Carpathian Fore-Deep are discussed as an example of a collision orogen, in relation to the presented earlier Precambrian and Palaeozoic orogens building the cores of the Precambrian and Palaeozoic platforms. The origin of each structure is discussed in relation to its correspondence with geotectonic models.

Learning outcomes:	Lecture: The student knows the rules used in the regional sub-division of geological/tectonic structures and models reconstructing their geotectonic evolution, particularly in correspondence to plate tectonics. Based on this knowledge, the student understands the diversified geology of Poland. Gains knowledge indispensible for continuing II level studies in almost all specialties in geology and applied geology and other studies in natural sciences (geography, geophysics, environmental protection and engineering). In the case of completing I level studies, the student has knowledge allowing undertaking jobs in local administration (geology, hydrogeology, natural resources, environmental protection, spatial planning).
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Final written/oral examination; solving a test checking the ability of reading geological maps and cross-sections, rules of distinguishing tectonic regions, knowledge of geological units distinguished in Poland.
Practical placement:	(in Polish) brak
