Comparison of volcanic morphology in the Czech Republic and in areas with active volcanism
POKORNÁ, Věra
The main purpose of the bachelor thesis was comparing morphology of volcanic features in the Czech Republic and in regions with active volcanism. The thesis provide a comprehensive summary of volcanic features in the Czech Republic, describe their morphology with use of remote sensing methods and compare them with the features and landforms of active volcanism in the world. A total of twenty-nine volcanic features, 16 of the Czech Republic and 13 structures from the world were compared. Some matches and differences were recorded. The external morphology of volcanoes is similar, but in many cases we can observe differences in rock composition or origin of volcano. The use of distance methods appeared to be an appropriate method, but some limitations appeared: e.g. the different resolution of particular DMR models or insufficient information on the genesis of particular volcanoes. Field survey can be an effective solution. Another aim of the bachelor's thesis was making of a popular-instructive manual for geology lessons at elementary schools and grammar schools. A four-page publication includes a theoretical introduction to volcanic activity, two experiments and a worksheet for the practice of knowledge.
