It is said that the birth of the earth is approximately 4,600 million years ago. Therefore, it is not thought when the birth of this ground leaves it out. If it thinks about the period called 4,600 million years, it is an extremely recent event to understand about this area. It is the bottom of the deep sea, and, in this whole area, it is said that mud or sand pile up, and there was thick stratum in the days of the Triassic period - Jurassic for the Mesozoic. It is the time approximately 60 million years before ... for approximately 75 million years that great switch happened in this ground. There was activity of various magma at approximately 10km below ground. I am told that this greatly originates in the formation of this ground. Seemingly what connection is not seen even if I watch nature of this ground, the history, culture, the working of people from one spot of the magnificent history as I get dizzy called 75 million years ago. However, it is fun and an attractive connection is seen when I draw various additional lines there so as to be excited. Based on such a thing, I assume a theme "a mystery of miracle, 10km below ground" and think about a subtheme saying , "nature, the history, culture, the working of people began all in there" to promote this activity.
