Geological Map of Spain Scale 1:200.000 (2nd series)
Description
This Map depicts the materials or rocks that appear on the surface of the sheet, their spatial distribution, nature and geometric relationships. The cartographic units are chronostratigraphic groupings, with common lithology and age formed by strata which are called formations, groups or members; other non-stratified ones such as granites are represented. The structural relationships between them are expressed by symbols, which gives the map a three-dimensional character completed by additional geological profiles. These are the graphic expression of the deep geometrical arrangement of the units shown on the geological map. Applied information such as water points, mineral deposits and indications, presence of fossils and other elements of point representation are added by means of symbology. The printed sheets include geological sections, columns of the main zones or units and various diagrams (regional geological and tectonic diagrams, both at a scale of 1:1,000,000).
The nominal scale of the series is 1:200,000, but in the island territories it has been produced at a scale of 1:100,000.
The digital information, geological map 1:200,000, chronolithostratigraphic legend and legend of geological symbols, is stored in coverage format (ESRI). There is a guide reflecting its organisation and codification.
The IGME is responsible for the execution of this series of cartography, which it finances with its own resources.
The creation of this cartography is based on the compilation of existing information, mainly MAGA cartography at a scale of 1:50,000, doctoral theses and other research work.
