Description
The bedrock map is a two-dimensional model of the bedrock's upper surface and provides an overview of the main features of Sweden's bedrock. The map shows the distribution of different bedrock units and large deformation zones (crack zones, faults and plastic shear zones). The bedrock units may consist of one or more rocks and the first mentioned are generally the most common. Some important devices that are too narrow to appear as surfaces are represented by lines. The age of each bedrock unit is reported, as well as the larger litothectonic unit (e.g. an older mountain range) to which it belongs. In a separate layer, only the propagation of the larger lithotectic units is shown, and in another layer these are divided into lithotectic subunits.
The purpose of the bedrock map is to provide a basis for very comprehensive planning and analysis, research and education. The map image is adapted for presentation at a scale of 1:1 million, which means that the information is generalized and not intended for more detailed use.
