In terms of time scale in geology, Quaternary is the present-day time and it began 2.6 million years ago. A lot of this time period relates to the Ice Age. Quaternary Geomorphology shows features left on the earth’s surface during this time. Glaciers and ice sheets, which are...

The term Physiography can be described as a blending of “physical" and "geography". Physiographic Units show Ireland’s physical landscape divided into categories such as ‘Bedrock plain’ and ‘Flat to undulating sediments’. Areas are grouped based on bedrock geology (solid rock...

Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of Ireland would be made up of if these materials were removed. As the bedrock is commonly...

The Quaternary geology of Ireland – Sediments Map is a representation of the surficial geology of Ireland at a scale of 1 to 50,000. The map shows the sediments mapped within 1 metre of the surface which were laid down during the Quaternary, bedrock at or close to the surface...

Physiographic maps are cartographic representations of the broad-scale physical landscape units of a region, and physiographic units consist of physical regions showing internal uniformity with respect to one or more environmental attributes, which are clearly differentiated...
