Bedrock, scale 1:250,000

  • English

The bedrock data shows the prevalence of rocks and rock structures on the earth's surface.\\n \\nThe data in Berggrunn N250/Bedrock 1:250.000 is mainly based on the nationwide, printed bedrock geological map series at a scale of 1: 250,000. The entire data set is later harmonized across map sheet boundaries and updated with newer available map data.\\n \\nThe data set provides information on the geological properties of the rocks and structures (including main rock type, age of formation (genesis) and tectonic main division for rock surfaces and structure names and kinematic type for structures).

Spatial scope
Specific usage

Knowledge of bedrock plays an important role in the exploration and evaluation of various types of raw materials and natural resources, as well as in water supply, planning and construction of infrastructure, waste storage, land use and environmental planning, construction, alternative energy and assessment of natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides.

Statement

Kartleggingen bygger på feltobservasjoner, analyser av innsamlede prøver og tolkning av geofysiske data. \\nDatasettet er basert på trykte berggrunnskart for landets fylker, i målestokk 1:250.000. Innsamling av data/feltarbeide er utført på kartgrunnlag med høyere kvalitet (ofte N50). Rissefolier fra det trykte kartet er skannet og vektorisert i Microstation og overført til ArcInfo-format, hvor datasettet er tildelt flere egenskaper, avledede tema i henhold til SOSI-standarden.
