Learning outcomes
|
Fundamental course in structural geology.
The students should be able to: - classify primary and secondary structures of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. - describe properties of the rock material and its behaviour under stress and strain - understand deformation of minerals and rocks, describe structures of homogenous deformation and shear zones. - classify and characterize faults, fissures and fractures, folds, thrust- and nappe structures.
