Vietnam’s geology is diverse and complex. The country lies on the eastern edge of the Indochinese Peninsula, influenced by the interactions of the Eurasian, Philippine Sea, and Indo-Australian plates. Northern Vietnam features ancient mountains and karst landscapes, while the central and southern regions have younger sedimentary basins and fertile river deltas, like the Mekong Delta. The Paracel Islands (Hoàng Sa) and the Spratly Islands (Trường Sa) are also integral parts of Vietnam’s territory and add to its geological and ecological diversity. This geological richness provides Vietnam with abundant natural resources, including minerals, oil, and gas, as well as stunning landscapes, from limestone caves to coastal sand dunes.
