嵩山世界地质公园 Song Shan Geopark-P.R.China
嵩山世界地质公园位于河南省登封市,总面积450平方公里。 嵩山在大地构造上处于华北古陆南缘,在公园范围内,连续完整地出露35亿年以来五个地质历史时期的地层,被地质界称为“五代同堂”,实际上是一部完整的地球历史石头书。
Songshan Global Geopark is located in Dengfeng City, Henan Province and it covers an area of 450 square kilometers. In terms of the composition of the earth, Songshan Mountain is situated in the southern fringe of the ancient landmass of north China and within the borders of the park, its stratum of a 3.5 billion-year history from five geological periods has been revealed continuously and completely. Thus, the formation of Songshan Mountain is known as the “five generations under one roof” in geological circles and in fact, it is a stone chronicle of the entire history of the earth.
