    • found: Wikipedia, Dec. 6, 2007(Geodiversity or geological diversity is the diversity of minerals, rocks (whether "solid" or "drift"), fossils, soils, land forms and geological processes that constitute the topography, landscape and the underlying structure of the Earth. This term can be applied to any particular region, county or country. The degree of geodiversity depends upon the range of geological and paleontological features relative to the region or area discussed.)

    • found: Earth heritage, world heritage website, Dec. 6, 2007:Geodiversity (The concept of biodiversity and our need to protect this natural heritage at local, national and global scales are well developed. The concept of geodiversity is less well appreciated but is now developing a momentum of its own.) Involving people in geodiversity (Geodiversity is described as "the natural range (diversity) of geological (rocks, minerals, fossils), geomorphological (land form, processes) and soil features. It includes their assemblages, relationships, properties, interpretations and systems")
