Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

It is conveyed information of activity of active faults during face to face learning. The
subjects which have been given in face to face learning have been applied to during
each application. A homework and a field work has been given in order to describe and interprete the
geological/geomorphological structures found along the active faults

Assessment Methods

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

None

Assessment Criteria

evidence for active faults given in the face to face learning will be evaluated in an
intermediate exam. In order to understand the geomorphic indices from
topographic map, a homework will be given. a presentation will given in order to establish earthquake risk of active faults.
