COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Analyses of Earth structure, seismicity, Earth models and plate tectonics. Exploration of Earth structure using wave propagation. Interpreting and collecting macroseismic data.

COURSE CONTENT:
Origins, classification and distribution of the earthquakes, seismicity and structure of Earth, plate tectonics, macroseismology: macroseismic scale, interpretation of isoseismal maps. Body waves, travel time tables, Mohorovičić discontinuity, Wiechert-Herglotz method.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
After completing the course, students are able to:
- Analyse, interpret and collect macroseismic data
- Describe effects of earthquakes according to macroseismic scales,
- Define basic terms of macroseismology, plate tectonics and structure of the Earth,
- Compute macroseismic parameters of earthquakes.

LEARNING MODE:
Listening of the lectures, active cooperation at exercises and case study and programming.

TEACHING METHODS:
Lectures, exercises and case study.

TERMS FOR RECEIVING THE SIGNATURE:
Positively graded first homework and submitted second homework. Attendance at least 70% of classes (lectures and exercises).

EXAMINATION METHODS:
The exam consists of two homework assignments in the form of a short report for assessment and an oral exam. The final grade is the arithmetic mean of the grades from the homework assignments and the oral exam.
The homework assignment consists of a problem that the student must solve and present the solution in the form of a written report describing the basic technical terms in the assignment, method and procedure (briefly), results described with a short interpretation or discussion and an appropriate graphic representation and conclusions. Each homework assignment is graded separately, and the arithmetic mean of both graded assignments is taken as the grade for the homework assignments. In order to be able to take the oral exam, both homework assignments must be positively graded.
The oral exam consists of questions in which professional terms must be defined/described/explained and equations, covered in the course material, derived.
