Tectonic Map of Switzerland 1:500000
This dataset provides the Tectonic Map of Switzerland at 1:500000 scale (TK500), depicting the tectonic units and structural elements across the entire Swiss territory and neighboring regions. Tectonic units group rocks sharing a common geodynamic history, separated from one another by tectonic discontinuities; within some units, further internal divisions may be shown. The dataset is published by swisstopo (Federal Office of Topography), under the Swiss Confederation, and covers national territory. It is accessible without authentication and is relevant to geology, structural mapping, and analysis of tectonic boundaries within Switzerland.The Tectonic Map of Switzerland (TK500) depicts the tectonic units and structural elements of the entire Swiss territory and neighboring regions.
