欧洲地质公园的基本特征及其地学基础

在联合国教科文组织和欧盟的支持下，欧洲地质公园建立起来了，含10个成员。各个地质公园有不同的地质科学意义，完全取决于所在地区的地质构造演化历史。欧洲地质构造分区对该区地质遗迹类型、分布和组合有明显的控制作用。在地质公园的调查、评价、规划、建设过程中，地球科学的支撑是极其重要的。

Basic features and geoscientific foundation for European geoparks

Under the UNESCO's and EU's patronage,the Network of European ge oparks with ten mem-bers has been formally established.These geoparks have dif ferent geoscientific significance,which depends on the history of tectonic ev olution that the area where geopark is located has.The tectonic divisions of Europe obviously have controlling effects on the types,distribution and associa tion of geoheritages.Geo-science support is the key to the investigation,ass essment ,planning and construction of geoparks.
