EN

The paper presents mountain regions of the northwestern part of Vietnam, of diversified geological history and landscape. The significant geological diversity enables to imagine circumstances at which different kinds of rocks came into being. It allows to examine and to understand tectonic processes that have taken place in both global and local scale, giving an idea of Earth's crust activity and giant forces that have shaped the Earth's surface and affecting continent composition. Our trip was a great travel experience through geological time, giving possibility to observe rocks of different age (from Precambrian until present). Both geological and geotouristic attractions are presented

PL

Praca przedstawia górskie rejony północno-zachodniej części Wietnamu o różnej przeszłości geologicznej i zróżnicowanym krajobrazie. Duża georóżnorodność umożliwia wyobrażenie sobie, w jakich warunkach powstawały poszczególne rodzaje skał, zetknięcie się i zrozumienie procesów tektonicznych zachodzących w skali globalnej jak i lokalnej, dając pojęcie o aktywności skorupy ziemskiej i ogromnych siłach sprawczych kształtujących wygląd powierzchni Ziemi i wpływających na ułożenie kontynentów. Taka trasa to wspaniała i pouczająca podróż przez geologiczny czas, dająca możliwość przyjrzenia się różnym wiekowo skałom (od prekambru aż po czasy współczesne). Zaprezentowano zarówno geologiczne jak i geoturystyczne atrakcje
