GEOMATICS APPLIED TO THE VALORIZATION OF GEO-RESOURCES AND GEO-TOURISM

Module STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

Ability to orient oneself in the field and therefore to read and interpret topographic and geo-thematic maps on paper and digital media.

Ability to recognize geological structures useful for the promotion of geosites.

Reading and interpretation of topographic and geo-thematic maps on paper and digital media.

Tectonic structures and their recognition in the field.

Geological-structural characteristics of the main geosites of Sicily.

The exam takes place in oral and written form on topics from the program in order to ensure full acquisition of knowledge and the ability to apply them in relation to the topics covered by the course.

Criteria for awarding the final grade:

The evaluation of the exam will be linked not only to the acquisition of specific knowledge but also to:

• ability to summarize the results; acquisition of independent judgment;

• ability to explain the theoretical basis, the approach, with the appropriate use of technical-scientific language methodological and the results achieved.

The exam is generally divided into:

a question on main tectonic structures (faults, fractures, folds);

a question on the tectonic characteristics of areas of high geo-tourist interest, the subject of field lessons.
