General Prerequisites
Learning Outcomes
The main scope of the courses is:
-the description and the understanding of the processes which are responsible for the earthquakes occurrence
-the propagation of the seismic wave
-the operation of the recording instruments
- the research focussed on earthquake prediction and the interpretation made based on plate tectonics theory. I
In order students to comprehend it, visits in the seismological station of Thessaloniki take place, instrumental measurements are made and also students solve theoretical tests in the classroom.
