The Tectonic Map of Switzerland at 1:500,000 scale depicts the large-scale structural and tectonic units which enable a better understanding of the geological makeup of the Alps.

The Tectonic Map of Switzerland 1:500,000 illustrates the structural and tectonic units of the entire area of Switzerland and adjoining regions: here only the tectonic faults are illustrated. It constitutes an excellent tool for discovering Switzerland geologically and for understanding its environment. It is also an essential aid for education in the earth and environmental sciences. This product is part of the GeoMaps 500 series. It is available as a printed map (folded or plano), pixelmap or vector dataset. For more information on the availability and the format of this product please visit our Geological Data Viewer (www.geologieviewer.ch). This layer is specifically tailored to the Project OneGeology Europe.

The dataset incorporates the main features of the bedrock geology in Norway. Areas of bedrock are classified according to rock type and age. Dyke swarms, tectonic structures, impact sites, and basalts are also shown. The areas of bedrock are also assigned to tectonic units. The map has been compiled using data acquired during several mapping campaigns carried out over decades and therefore the level of accuracy is variable.

The harmonized geological map of Slovenia is a simplified version of the 1:250 000 scale Geological Map of Slovenia (Buser, 2009). This was compiled from the Geological Base Map of Slovenia at a scale of 1: 100.000 (contributed by various authors during the 1960's up to the 1980's) and the work was completed using new information gathered by Buser. The map is basically lithostratigraphic. The two layers incorporated in the map are lithostratigraphic units and major faults. The faults depicted on the map were selected using two criteria; regional extent and tectonic importance. The map presented here was edited specifically for the purpose of the OneGeology-Europe project by M. Bavec, M. Novak, M. Poljak, M. Trajanova and D. Skaberne.
