Geologic map 1:25 000 v1.0

The central element is the 1:25,000 geological map; the rest are called peripheral elements. The peripheral elements are: the legend of the cartographic units, the conventional signs, the stratigraphic columns, the geological sections, the stratigraphic relationship diagram, the geological diagram and the complementary diagrams. The geological map shows the distribution of different types of rocks that emerge on the surface of the earth and their relative arrangement. It allows us to deduce much of the arrangement of rocks in the subsoil and to learn about the geological history of a region. It is a two-dimensional graphic representation that allows us to make extrapolations in three dimensions or, even, four if time is considered, depending on the level of reading that is made. It is formed by a set of cartographic units limited by contacts and by symbols that represent other geological elements: surface dip, folding structures, subsoil information (isopachs or isobaths of the Quaternary), slope of recent deposits, morphological indications, landslides and other recent processes, deposits, etc. It also includes symbols of various references (geological sections, drillings, names of major geological structures, etc.).

Purpose
The main objectives of this geoinformation are: To provide an overview of the geology of Catalonia at a scale of 1:25,000; To provide a reference base for the development of any activity that has a territorial impact at medium scales and that must take geology into account; To enable the performance of operations and queries for analysis or territorial impact with other sets of geographic information data.

Domain consistency

Name of measure
Compliance with INSPIRE requirements (metadata)
Evaluation method description
The compliance of the metadata is evaluated using the "INSPIRE Reference Validator" web tool. The metadata is considered correct when the only errors reported are related with the main language of the metadata file. These errors are due to the fact that Catalan is not included in the list of official languages of the European Union.

Conformance result

Pass
Yes
Statement
The geological information comes from specific geological cartography work on the ground, recently carried out and from a multidisciplinary perspective. The support for this work are aerial photographs, orthophotos and appropriate topographic cartography.
