Earth in the Solar System
The exhibition shows the position and peculiarity of our planet comparing to other objects in the Solar System. The space-oriented aspect of the exhibition is complemented by a section dedicated to impact craters being unique geological structures formed during collision with meteorites, comets or asteroids with the Earth’s surface The issues concerning atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere of the Earth are illustrated by satellite images and this also emphasises the outer-space extent of phenomena taking place on our planet.
Processes Shaping the Earth
The exhibition on dynamic geology presents the most important phenomena and processes shaping the Earth. The purpose of the exposition is to explain processes occurring under the impact of external geological factors such as weathering, erosion, mass movement, sedimentation and processes caused by internal geological circumstance taking place in the Earth’s crust or in its interior. Our exhibition provides a synthesis outlining the effects of such processes as: diastrophism, volcanism, plutonism or metamorphism. The exhibition is illustrated with a deliberately selected collection of rock and mineral specimens.
From the Earth’s Geological Past
The exhibition pertains to issues that are of interest to historical geology. It intends to explain how information concerning the Earth’s past is collected. With the use of selected examples illustrated by exhibits from often unique sites, our exhibition allows to understand the path of individual fossils and rocks to interpret the evolution of entire plant and animal groups. Moreover, it is also possible to reproduce changes of the past taking place in natural environments in the scale of regions, continents and the globe.
