"How old is the earth?" "How are the geological ages divided?" "What is the internal structure of the Earth?" "How do the plates move?" On March 31, 2022, in the lecture hall of the Science Association, Xiao Wenjiao, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of the Xinjiang Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, gave a vivid lecture on geological science and technology for the students of the Xinjiang University of Science and Technology for the Elderly. The lecture was a lively geological science lecture.
From the Alps, the Andean Plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, from Mont Blanc, Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench in the depths of the ocean, academician Xiao Wenjiao introduced the formation of continents, plate drift, mountain building movement and other professional knowledge to the old science and technology workers with vivid language.
“The fundamental reason why China's scientific career can achieve the current achievements lies in the generation after generation of our scientific and technological workers, who are not afraid of difficulties and do not admire vanity. They devote themselves to exploring scientific undertakings, devote themselves to the country and the nation, and make selfless contributions to the benefit of mankind. They have formed the spirit of scientists with patriotism as the background ." Academician Xiao Wenjiao concluded.
