He October 6 is known as the International Geodiversity Day. This concept was created to refer to the variety of existing geological elements in a territory. From sedimentary or tectonic structures, rocks, fossils, soils, geological processes and even natural energy and water resources.
The geodiversity supports biodiversity, being the basis of the entire ecosystem. Therefore, it plays a fundamental role for the well-being of living beings and the sustainable development of the planet. Some of the benefits of geodiversity are the following: it provides resources for the generation of renewable energy, attenuates pollution, helps to know and predict natural hazards and conditions the flora and fauna of the region.

Why International Geodiversity Day is celebrated every October 6
This date arose with the purpose of highlighting the role played by geology in society. Through The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) It was established that the International Geodiversity Day would be celebrated every October 6, with the objective, also, of promoting the conservation of the planet’s geological heritage.
This anniversary also arose thanks to the claim of the International Union of Geological Sciences and 108 other scientific organizations. The date serves to disseminate information and raise awareness about the importance of diversity and the riches that it generates in the environmental balance, both of the existing flora and fauna.
