Description: Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of an object. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to motion. The temperature map shows the measure of temperatures for different bedrock types in Ireland. Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. As there are many bedrock types in Ireland, it is not possible to take a measurement from all of them so the points on the map correspond to the temperature of the rocks in that specific area.Geologists record thermal properties of rocks. Temperature below the surface is recorded from a borehole (a deep narrow round hole drilled in the ground).To create this dataset, existing data was collected from previous projects. The data was combined in an excel spreadsheet. The data was then digitised and mapped as points of the locations of each borehole measurement. This Temperature Map is to the scale 1:100,000. This means it should be viewed at that scale. When printed at that scale 1cm on the map relates to a distance of 1km.It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas).The temperature data is shown as points. Each point contains the temperature values for the rock type at a specific depth in the borehole, a Geothermal Temperature Unique ID, a Geothermal ID, Index Number, Borehole Name, Borehole ID, X Easting (ITM), Y Northing (ITM), Elevation (height above sea level) of the surface of the borehole in meters, Recorded surface air temperature on day of temperature logging, Estimated average ground temperature, True vertical depth below sea level in meters calculated using the following formula: TVDSS = Elevation – Depth, Temperature gradient recorded, Temperature gradient calculated, Type of data collection observation whether the Data was Corrected and Data Source.This dataset may have some limitations, as there is a lack of available data. There is also no data from many bedrock types in Ireland.
