The course aims to provide an overview of the planet Earth, introducing the basis for understanding the main geological aspects that characterize our planet. The course will also deal with the interactions between endogenous and exogenous processes in order to understand how these processes influence the shapes of the landscape. The course also aims to provide an understanding of the critical aspects related to the interactions between humans and Planet Earth regarding energy resources and the availability of chemical elements necessary for the energy transition and sustainable development. Moreover, the course aims to provide the tools to acquire knowledge about the Solar System and its planets, defining the planet Earth as an integrated system and highlighting its role within the Solar System.
During field excursions students will learn to understand the different aspects of Italian territory, with particular regard to its environmental value e fragility.

The training objectives of the first semester concern: the acquisition of the general concept of the Earth as an Integrated System, the concept of Deep Time, the knowledge of the lithogenetic cycle and the relationships between endogenous and exogenous processes, the acquisition of the basic methods for macroscopic recognition of the main minerals and igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
The training objectives of the second semester concern: knowledge of Earth's seismicity and associated risk, knowledge of the basic elements of the deformation of rocks and of the main sedimentary environments on our planet, the acquisition of the concept of Earth in continuous evolution. The acquisition of basic skills for reading simple geological maps and the construction of geological sections starting from cartographic or well data. The acquisition of basic knowledge on the origin and structure of the Solar System and the main motions of the Planet.

Learning test takes place through a 4 hours lasting written assignment, aimed at verifying the level of effective understanding of the concepts and the students' ability to apply them in real contexts. The written test includes: 1) 20 questions (multiple answer, true or false, open answers) on the geology topics covered in the course (including those addressed during the field activity); 2) 5 open questions on the topics of "The Earth in Space" covered in the course; 3) the construction of a geological section starting from a simple geological map. For the theoretical part, at the end of the first semester there is a partial examination that includes 10 questions (multiple answer, true or false, open answers) related to the topics covered in the first part of the course. For those who have passed this test, the final written test related to the theory will concern exclusively the topics covered in the second semester and will consist of 20 questions (multiple answer, true or false, open answers).
