Summary

A three-day field trip through the Apuane Alps in northern Tuscany revealed how plate tectonics shapes landscapes and rock formations, from oceanic to continental origins. Participants observed brittle and ductile deformations across different structural levels, linking outcrop-scale structures to mountain-scale folds like pluridecametric folds. The Antro del Corchia cave provided insights into karstification processes, while the Levigliani mine highlighted historical mineralization activities. Interactive lab sessions focused on rock classification, age determination, and geological map interpretation, offering hands-on learning experiences for teachers.
