UNESCO Global Geoparks are single, unified geographical areas where sites and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education and sustainable development.
A UNESCO Global Geopark uses its geological heritage, in connection with all other aspects of the area’s natural and cultural heritage, to enhance awareness and understanding of key issues facing society in the context of the dynamic planet we all live on, mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing the impact of natural disasters.
The oldest rocks of the Copper Coast were formed 460 million years ago during the Ordovician period. At this time, the Copper Coast was part of a Continental margin, located under the sea near the South Pole.
As one continental plate slipped under another due to plate tectonics, magma rose from the depths of the earths mantle until it erupted in two separate volcano through the ocean floor where the Copper Coast was located.
