Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Knowledge of the structure, functioning of processes and relationships in the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere of the Earth, familiarity with the geological structure and geological processes of the Earth, with the basics of mineralogy and petrography, land hydrology and meteorology and climatology. 2. Mastering techniques of search, analysis, evaluation of actual material and professional literature and other sources of information regarding the natural phenomena of geological and of a geomorphological nature and available geoinformation programs.
Course content
The content of the discipline consistently reveals the main features of the status of geomorphology and a methodologically sustained chain of knowledge about one of the most important sciences about the Earth, a namely: the main methodological provisions and stages of formation of geomorphology, general regularities of formation of the relief of the earth's surface, characteristics of the main factors relief formation, such as endogenous (the structure of the earth's crust, the activity of its tectonic movements, features of the geological structure of the upper part of the lithosphere, properties of rocks in relation to their relief-forming role, types of relief-forming influence of magmatism), which determine the diversity of the morphostructure of the earth's surface, and exogenous (direct and indirect influence of solar heat, various types of its influence on the hydrosphere and atmosphere, reflected by complex mechanisms of work of exogenous geomorphological processes and formation of the corresponding morphosculpture). The discipline contains educational provisions regarding methods of field and chamber geomorphological research, as well as substantiation structure of scientific and variety of applied directions of geomorphology. The educational discipline "Geomorphology" is one of the components of the comprehensive preparation of the educational and professional program "Cross-border ecological cooperation" majors 106 Geography.
