Mapa Geológico de Menorca a escala 1:100.000

This Map depicts the materials or rocks that appear on the surface of the sheet, their spatial distribution, nature and geometrical 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 that is 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 punctual representation are added by means of symbology.

The digital information, geological map 1:100.000, chronolithostratigraphic legend and legend of geological symbols, is stored in coverage format (ESRI). There is a guide that reflects its organisation and codification.

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.

Statement

Map made from the MAGNA geological cartography (scale 1:25.000) of the island. Study of the units of the sheets and creation of the chronolithostratigraphic legend significant for the scale. Adjustment and matching of sheets with the aggregation and generalisation of the MAGNA sheet units for the creation of the 1:100,000 scale map. Drawing of the map adjusted to the topographic base.

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

Description

Compilation and analysis of previous information:

Compilation of MAGNA geological information and of work carried out in the area covered by the sheet carried out subsequent to the MAGNA sheets.

Description

Production of the map:

Study of the cartographic units and revision of the samples.

Preparation of the legend Correlation between the cartographic units of the MAGNA sheets and the chronolithostratigraphic legend of the 1:100,000 scale map.

Spatial adjustment between sheet boundaries.

Adjustment to the selected topographic base.

Drawing of the geological map at 1:100.000 scale.

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.
