The course provides fundamental knowledge for understanding the dynamics of the Earth's crust.
It will cover the main rock deformation structures (faults, fractures, folds, etc.) and the ways in which they form due to tectonic stresses.
Part of the course will focus on understanding Plate Tectonics and its underlying mechanisms.
In this context, the mechanics and phenomenology of earthquakes will be introduced, along with basic principles of seismology and an overview of the volatile cycle in geodynamic systems.
