Introduction to Geology: the uniqueness of planet Earth; aspects of geology, the Earth's crust - the processes affecting the surface (the model of the Earth's relief, the sedimentary processes, sedimentary rocks), the body of the Earth - the internal process (the interior of the Earth, the earthquakes, volcanic phenomena, igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks; lithogenetic cycle, plate tectonics) deformation of the crust (lithological succession, the deformation of rocks, the geometry of geological bodies ). The "craft" of the geologist: the geological survey (preliminary research, materials and methods, analysis and interpretation of geological maps, reading and interpretation of thematic maps), the geological-technical survey (principal physical and mechanical properties of earth and rocks, the geological exploration of subsoil). Engineering Geology: Slope instabilities; hydrogeology; study of the geological context related to planning issues (the geological hazard); first intervention on the territory; redevelopment (urban geology.)
