Geotopes in Switzerland
This API provides data on geotopes in Switzerland, geoscientific natural monuments that document the country's geological history. Some geotopes illustrate the development of landscapes, climate, and life, as well as the formation and disappearance of mountains and the origins of rocks, while others shed light on ongoing processes at the Earth's surface. The dataset is published by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo), part of the Swiss Confederation, and is useful for geological research, education, and landscape conservation planning across Switzerland.Geotopes are geoscientific natural monuments. Geotopes that represent geological history show the development of the landscape, the climate and life, the formation and disappearance of mountains and the origins of rocks. Other geotopes shed light on the processes taking place on the Earth's surface…
