Purpose & Scientific Principle
The exhibits allow the audience to understand the composition, structure and classification of different carbonate rocks through interactive reproductions and rock specimen displays.
How to Operate
While the concentration of carbon dioxide on Earth is declining, the proportion of carbonate rocks is increasing. In the Earth system, the lithosphere is the largest carbon pool, and the amount of carbon stored in carbonate rocks is greater than 6.0 × 10.8 billion tons (6 billion tons), which is 1,562 times and 30,000 times that of the ocean and terrestrial vegetation carbon pools, respectively. This suggests that the formation of carbonate rocks has exerted a huge sink effect on atmospheric carbon dioxide over geological history over long time scales. The global distribution area of carbonate rocks reaches 22 million km2, accounting for about 15% of the land area.
The exhibits will introduce the characteristics and formation processes of carbonate rocks, including rock types composed of carbonate sediments and organic matter, as well as their formation environment and evolution process. Through the display of rock specimens, the audience can feel the texture, color, shape and other characteristics of carbonate rocks. At the same time, combined with the graphic version, the classification and application of different carbonate rocks are introduced, including the characteristics and uses of different types of carbonate rocks, as well as their applications in the fields of geological exploration, building materials, and environmental protection. Through interactive reproduction, the audience can personally experience the texture, form and uses of different types of carbonate rocks.
Through a combination of model display and mechanical interaction, the exhibits allow visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the characteristics, formation processes and geological significance of carbonate rocks, as well as their applications and values in different fields.
