Tectonic Map of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands scale 1:1.000.000

The Tectonic Map of the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands has been made according to the guidelines given by the elaboration of the International Tectonic Map of Europe in the 1960s. The principles of representation adopted in this map have a double purpose: to differentiate the major structural elements of the earth's crust, and to record the earth's dynamics in the past. Map of the geographical distribution of the large structural units of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands classified into two large groups: platform areas and orogens, from which three units have been derived: Hercynian Mountains, Alpine Mountains and Platform, Mesozoic and Tertiary areas. The cartographic units represented have been delimited based on their temporal relationships with the age of deformation, in the case of the Cordilleras. The structural relations between the units are reflected by the trace of the large folding structures and the faults. The different degrees of metamorphism to which the different rock groups have been subjected are also included.

Los principios de representación adoptados en el citado mapa tienen una doble objeto: diferenciar los elementos estructurales mayores de la corteza terrestre, y registrar el dinamismo terrestre en el pasado. Mapa de distribución geográfica de las grandes unidades estructurales de la Península Ibérica y Baleares clasificadas en dos grandes grupos: áreas de plataforma y orógenos, de los que han derivado tres unidades: Cordillera Hercínica, Cordilleras Alpídicas y áreas de Plataforma, Mesozoicas y Terciarias. Las unidades cartográficas representadas se han delimitado a partir de sus relaciones temporales con la edad de la deformación, en el caso de la Cordilleras. Las relaciones estructurales entre las unidades quedan reflejadas por la traza de las grandes estructuras de plegamiento y las fallas. También se incluyen los distintos grados de metamorfismo al que se han visto sometidos los diferentes grupos rocosos.
