Geological Map of the Maltese Islands - Bedrock bedding measurements

APIExecutable4/7Query nowOpen workbench Subscribe🇲🇹Malta

This WFS dataset provides point observations recording the bedding orientation of bedrock units across the main Maltese Islands, mapped at a scale of 1:10,000. Each observation point describes the orientation of rock bedding in terms of dip and dip-azimuth, supporting detailed geological interpretation of bedrock structure. The dataset is published by the Planning Authority of Malta and forms part of the Geological Map of the Maltese Islands series, offering nationally consistent structural geology data accessible via a standard web feature service without authentication.effect.Data identifying observation locations (shown as points) describing the bedding orientation of bedrock units. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. Bedrock measurements describe the orientation of bedding in terms of dip and dip-azimuth. The dat…
