Geological Map of La Palma at scale 1:100.000

The map of the island of La Palma includes volcanic and sedimentary units separated by different types of contacts: undifferentiated between formations, between lava flows of the same formation and intrusive. The different units have been grouped into different categories according to their genesis, structure and arrangement, such as eruptions, edifices or volcanoes. The direction of the flow lava flows is shown by means of the corresponding symbology. Tectonic processes are shown as faults and recent local features as active slumps. Additional information includes mineral deposits and indications, archaeological sites and other volcanic elements of specific representation. The map is accompanied by the chronolithostratigraphic legend and conventional signs.

Statement

Map made from the geological cartography at 1:25,000 scale by merging and matching sheets, without generalisation of units or other elements. The chronolithostratigraphic legend brings together all the units present on the 1:25,000 scale sheets.

Digitisation carried out in 2001. Normalisation and generation of symbolised files (.lyr) and cartography, in version 8.2 of ArcGIS, in 2003.

Description

Analysis of previous information:

Analysis of the MAGNA geological information of the island of La Palma at a scale of 1:25.000.

Description

Production of the map:

Study of the cartographic units of the sheets at a scale of 1:25,000, determination of volcanic episodes.

Elaboration of the unified chronolithostratigraphic legend.

Correlation between the cartographic units at 1:25.000 and 1:100.000 scale.

Spatial adjustment between sheet boundaries.

Adjustment to the selected topographic base.

Drawing of the geological map at a scale of 1:100.000.

Description

Process of digitalisation of the information:

Analysis of the entities present in the cartography. Assignment of codes.

Digitisation of geological contacts and faults. Generation of the enclosures that constitute the cartographic units. Digitisation of the rest of the geological entities. Digitisation of the chronolithostratigraphic legend.

Error control and correction.

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
