Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of Ireland would be made up of if these materials were removed. As the bedrock is commonly covered, bedrock maps are an interpretation of the available data. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Geologists map and record information on the composition and structure of rock outcrops (rock which can be seen on the land surface) and boreholes (a deep narrow round hole drilled in the ground). Areas are drawn on a map to show the distribution of rocks. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

To produce this dataset, the Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) bedrock geology 1:100,000 maps were generalised. The Northern Irish data was generalised using the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI) 1:250,000 bedrock geology map.<\/SPAN><\/P>

This map is to the scale 1:500,000. This means it should be viewed at that scale. When printed at that scale 1cm on the map relates to a distance of 5km.<\/SPAN><\/P>

It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas).<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

The bedrock data is shown as polygons. Each polygon holds information on the rock unit name, age and there is a link to download a pdf of the age description.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The faults show the details of the structural geology. Faults are the result of great pressure being applied to rock across a whole continent or more. These rocks will break under the pressure, forming faults. Faults are recorded as lines where the break in the rock meets the surface. <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

The faults data is shown as black lines. Each line holds information on the fault name if one exists.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The dykes show the details of the structural geology. A dyke is a flat body of rock that cuts through another type of rock. Dykes cut across the other type of rock at a different angle than the rest of the structure. Dykes are usually visible because they are at a different angle, and usually have different color and texture than the rock surrounding them.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Faults and dykes are vital information that is needed alongside bedrock geology maps to provide information on the structure of rocks.\n\nBedrock maps help us locate groundwater sources which can be used to supply drinking water. Rock properties and structures such as faults impact how water and/or pollutants move below the surface. Drinking water can be protected by locating potential polluting operations, such as landfills, away from groundwater.\n\nGeothermal energy is the energy stored in the form of heat beneath the surface of the earth. It can be used to supply heat and hot water. It can also be used to cool a house by removing surplus heat energy and putting it into the ground. Bedrock maps along with subsoil and aquifer maps are used to help decide if the ground under a site is suitable for geothermal energy extraction.\n\nEngineers need this information when they are designing structures (houses, buildings, roads, etc.). They need to know the quality of the ground (strength and depth of soil, if rock and or groundwater is present) and how structures can be built in and on it. They use the information to decide the best supports and foundations needed for structures so that they don\u2019t collapse. They can also find out if there are any underground obstructions, groundwater, faults etc which could result in additional costs or delays.\n\nBedrock maps are used to find sites suitable for the extraction of valuable mineral deposits. Nearly all of the metals we use today are extracted from a number of minerals that different rocks are made up of.", "Category": "", "Keywords": "Ireland,IE/GSI,Geology,bedrock,fault,dyke" }, "supportsQueryDomains": true, "supportsQueryContingentValues": true, "layers": [ { "id": 0, "name": "Dykes 500k (ROI/NI)", "parentLayerId": -1, "defaultVisibility": true, "subLayerIds": null, "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "type": "Feature Layer", "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolyline" }, { "id": 1, "name": "Faults 500k (ROI/NI)", "parentLayerId": -1, "defaultVisibility": true, "subLayerIds": null, "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "type": "Feature Layer", "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolyline" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Bedrock Geology 500k (ROI/NI)", "parentLayerId": -1, "defaultVisibility": true, "subLayerIds": null, "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "type": "Feature Layer", "geometryType": "esriGeometryPolygon" } ], "tables": [], "relationships": [], "enableZDefaults": false, "allowUpdateWithoutMValues": false, "supportsVCSProjection": true, "datumTransformations": [ { "geoTransforms": [ { "wkid": 108001, "latestWkid": 1241, "transformForward": true, "name": "NAD_1927_To_NAD_1983_NADCON" } ] }, { "geoTransforms": [ { "wkid": 108001, "latestWkid": 1241, "transformForward": false, "name": "NAD_1927_To_NAD_1983_NADCON" } ] } ], "referenceScale": 0, "serviceItemId": "cb686a668c044ae5a361f53be2abff7e" }
