Theory teaching
Definition and relation to other geological disciplines. History of development. The cosmical and geological phase in the development of our planet. The history of the Earth in Arhaic and Proterozoic and the main tectonic, biostratigraphic and paleogeographic properties at classical sites in Europe. The evolution of the planet in Paleozoic and the main tectonic, biostratigraphic and paleogeographic properties at classical sites in Europe. The geological history of the planet in Mesozoic, the main tectonic, biostratigraphic and paleogeographic characteristics, the most important global events and significance. Evolution of the planet in Kenozoic of Europe and main tectonic, biostratigraphic and paleogeographic characteristics. The phenomenon, evolution and disappearance of the Paratethis epicontinental sea. Basic characteristics of quaternary deposits of Europe.
