Required Courses
- GGG 105Y Introduction to Geology
Learning Outcomes
1. knowledge of the main geological-tectonic structures of the Earthcrust and their kinematics and dynamics(ductile and brittle)
2. knowledge of the structural evolution of the Earth lithosphere in the geological time.
3. knowledge of the orogenese mechanism and the main characteristic evolutionary stages of an orogenic cycle (making-nappe stacking and destruction-nappe collapse of the orogen).
