Purpose

The purpose of this map is twofold. On the one hand, to respond to the needs of scientists and planners who require information on aspects of the most recent geology. On the other hand, to reveal and facilitate a national vision of the knowledge of the Quaternary in Spain, a system that is insufficiently known.

Specific usage

It is a national map, at a scale of 1:1,000,000, so its use is limited by scale, i.e. it is a map to be used for national planning as an approximation for regional studies related to recent and current geological dynamics, research and territorial planning.

Statement

The map was drawn up from the compilation of cartographic information at scales 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:200,000 produced by the IGME, unpublished cartography, Doctoral Theses, Dissertations and other published works.

Subsequently, the phenomena to be included in the cartography were established and the legend of surface formations was drawn up. Next, the processes of synthesis, reclassification, generalisation and exaggeration were carried out for the final production of the map.

The digitisation process was carried out in 1991 from the printing plates and the definitive normalisation and generation of symbolised files (.lyr) and cartography, in version 8.3 of ArcGis, in 2003.

Description

Compilation of existing information:

Bibliographic information.

Topographical base.

Geological and related maps at various scales.

Palaeontological and prehistoric information.

Description

Preparation of the map:

Elaboration of the legend of surface formations.

Plotting of surface formations.

Establishment and plotting of geomorphological, palaeontological and prehistoric phenomena to be included in the map.

Description

Digitisation:

Inventory, selection and coding of the phenomena to be included in the digital mapping.

Digitisation in accordance with the Institute's specifications.

Geometric processing.

Association of attributes to spatial objects and creation of tables.

Checking of digital information, detection and correction of errors.

Verification of the consistency between the different digital maps.

Description

The rock units of the sheet separated by different types of contacts are represented, together with the tectonic structure, faults and map traces of folds, the orientation and dip of planar and linear elements contained in the rocks, structural and textural singularities of igneous and metamorphic rocks, water points, mineral deposits and indications, presence of fossils and other elements of punctual representation.
