Geodiversity

Geodiversity is the range of rocks, fossils, minerals, soils, landforms and natural processes that make up the Earth's landscape and structure. Geodiversity is seen across the landscape and in coastal cliffs, beaches, lagoons, quarries and river cuttings.

Like biodiversity, geodiversity can be affected, both positively and negatively, by man's actions.
