Geological map of the oceanic and continental regions of Northern Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n The Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU), in cooperation with the geological surveys of 22 European countries, has mapped the pre-Quaternary basement of northern Europe at a scale of 1:4 million.<\/p>\n For the first time until 2002, the geology of the continental and oceanic formations of the regions is presented as a whole. The area covered extends longitudinally from eastern Greenland to New Zealand and latitudinally from Svalbard to the northeast of the French coast; the western part of the Russian shelf is also included.<\/p>\n The geology includes rocks of all ages from Archean gneisses to recent mid-Atlantic ridge basalts, except for Quaternary sediments. In addition to the basement geology, fault zones, escarpments, accretionary axes, magnetic anomalies and continental-oceanic crustal boundaries have been represented. Fourteen cross-sections were included, as well as profiles of deep borehole sites in the oceanic zones.<\/p>\n The countries that participated in its realization are : This mapping project was financially supported by the Norwegian Geological Survey and the following oil companies: Amerada Hess Norge A\/S, Mobil Exploration Norway Inc, Norsk Agip A\/S, Norsk Hydro ASA, Phillips Petroleum Company Norway, Saga Petroleum a.s. (now Norsk Hydro ASA) and Statoil ASA.<\/p>\n
