Classified places based on geotourism

The classification of different regions Based on the geotourism issues

Professionally speaking some areas are far dependent in the earth & have connection with geological phenomena more directly. For example, Grand Canyon in the US, Kilimanjaro mount in Africa, Ayers Rock in Australia, Baikal Lake in Russia, Li River in china & siccar point in Scotland. Visiting all these areas would be at great joy for

All members of families & is present in the list of each geologist indeed. These areas are the ones to which anyone likes to have a visit. Some other areas own geo_heritage sites as well. Nevertheless, Researchers & geology enthusiasts would feel pity at the sight of rocks & cliffs being fenced with railings or any sort of barrier. The fact brings us to the crucial matter that the world's wonderful treasures must be looked after.

In a general classification the geotouristic region can be divided in to three categories:

1- There are plenty places that aren’t too familiar to the geologist & rock – climbers but to the natural dwellers of each area.

2- next to some huge cities with just a few kilometers away, yet so harsh & god forsaken in the appearance, there exist incomparable geological features & beauty spots  toward which many of the adventure- seekers will be absorbed ( the places that are least counted by the ordinary people)

3- To cut a long word short, it ought to be cited that there are terrains in the world as if presents for geologist & a few others. Thoroughly professional terrains for example siccar point in the east coasts of Scotland, Hutton's section in Holyrood park in Edinburgh & other else sections that have been studied by the founder of geology James Hutton raised provisions like stratigraphy. If you are true science fiend, you might be interest at the bottom of your heart to take a trip & have a visit to such places. while if your children chasing you every where, you have to stand their noise & consequently say goodbye to relax .the Jurassic coast , south of the UK is more liked by the public; not only for its brilliant beach & restaurants, but also for its fossilized dinosaurs, the subject that fascinates every one.
