Geological sites

Geological sites are locations on Earth that showcase significant geological features, processes, or history. These can include mountains, rock formations, fossils, and unique landscapes formed by natural forces like erosion and volcanic activity. Such sites help scientists understand Earth's past, including climate changes and tectonic movements. They also provide valuable insights into natural resources and environmental changes. Well-known examples include the Grand Canyon in the USA, known for its stratified layers of rock, and the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, famous for its unique basalt columns. Geological sites are important for education, research, and conservation.
