TECTONIC MAP

The Tectonic map of Iceland gives a new view of the countrys geology. The rocks are classified by age, but not by type or composition. Volcanic systems, including central volcanoes and fissure and dyke swarms, both active and extinct, are shown, as are the islands pricipal fracture zones and the dip of rock layers. The map thus gives a useful insight into the geological structure of the country.
