Learning Objectives
The purpose of course is to provide essential information about the geological and stratigraphic- structural units of area that part of African margin (Adria or Apula plate) and today form the Italian peninsula (Alps, Apennines). At the end of the course the student should be able to analyze in a synthetic paleogeographic description the geodynamic evolution of the Italian region.

- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
