El campo volcánico catalán

Catalan volcanic field, in Iberian Peninsula Northeast, has been made during Neogene and Quaternary. It is made up Empordà, la Selva and la Garrotxa Zones, the best volcanic morphology is in the last one because is the most recent. In this paper we explain the volcanic rocks general characteristics, what eruption activity generate it and the final volcanic edifice morphology. Finally, we propose some crops to visit

Aportaciones al conocimiento del Cretácico del macizo del Montgrí (Girona)

ln this paper we describe a stratigraphic column of the Cretaceous of the Montgrí. This description is based on several partial stratigraphic cross sections as well as on the lithological characterof the different levels and their faunal content, specially megafossils

L'aflorament volcànic del mas Ventós (el Port de la Selva, Alt Empordà)

Es descriu un aflorament volcànic localitzat a la rodalia del mas Ventós (el Port de la Selva), a la part central de la serra de Rodes, dins el Pirineu axial. Es tracta d’una xemeneia volcànica enclavada en granodiorites gneissificades. Els materials que la componen són basalts olivínics alcalins amb textura traquítica, bastant alterats, els quals queden colgats per un dipòsit col·luvial sense consolidar. Les dimensions de la xemeneia són difícils de determinar pel recobriment que presenta: supera els 70 m en direcció nord-nord-est a sud-sud-oest i és d’uns 35 m en la perpendicular a aquesta. Aquest aflorament va ser citat per Teixidor fa més d’ un segle, i no s’ha retrobat fins ara

Aportacions al coneixement del vulcanisme neogen de l'Alt Empordà: tres afloraments volcànics inèdits al terme municipal de Roses

En aquest treball es descriuen les característiques litològiques principals de tres afloraments volcànics inèdits que han estat localitzats al terme municipal de Roses. Es tracta de materials basàltics, similarsals que s'associen a altres manifestacions efusives neògenes de la comarca de l'Alt Empordà

Avaluació dels recursos d'àrids disponibles en medis fluvials mitjançant tècniques geofisiques. Aplicació a la cubeta de Celrà (Riu Ter, Ne Catalunya)

The depth of the water table and the clay content are determinant factors for the exploitability of natural aggregates, such as the alluvial sands and gravels found on the fluvial domain of the Ter River. In this preliminary study, carried out in the Celri basin, we conclude that these variables can be determined by means of geophysical methods and recornmends the use of such methods in studies of regional character

Morfolitología de las terrazas del Ter en Girona

It is a contribution to the study of the terraces of the river Ter along its mid-course in the town of Girona, since that is the last speace where it is still possible to observe four of these terraces with clear characteristics of climatical deposition. Itsmorphological peculiarities are described as well as the morphometrical and lithological parameters of its pebbles. These terraces are compared with others which have been studied in other areas of the regions and conclusions are drawn concerning deposition, source àrea and chronology

Presencia del paleogeno bajo los sedimentos neogénicos de Vilablareix (Girona)

This study makes clear the existence of a paleogenical red basal level (Pontils Fm.) in the Vilablareix àrea, under the mio-pliocenical cover of the Girona plain, enlargening the surface known go far of that level

Las fuentes naturales del término municipal de Sant Feliu de Guíxols (Girona)

The behaviour of 21 natural springs in a granític massif is studied in this survey. Geomorphological features of the zone are described as well as water circulation and rising 25 parametres of each of them are analysed ans conclusions are withdrawn regarding geological conditions of rising, course, chemism and potability

Nota sobre la presencia de depósitos morrenicos en Port de Compte (Lleida)

Here we describe a series of recognized morainic deposits in the "Macizo del Port del Comte", which are the southern-most example of the eastern pre Pyrenees

Sedimentología del Mioceno del Vallés occidental (prov. de Barcelona)

In this paper we make a litostratigraphical study on the Miocene of the 'Vallés occidental' (Barcelona, Spain) which embraces a part of the 'Depresion Media' of the intermediary tectonic grave between the 'Cadena Litoral' and 'Prelitoral' of the 'Sistema Mediterráneo'. At the same time we undertake an analysis of the bassin

Morfogénesis del valle de Sant Miquel de Campmajor

A series of circumstances which converge in a little valley in the province of Girona, result in a peculiar type of morphogenetic evolution and a quite singular mechanical instability of its buttons. Very recent tectonic movements as well as dissolution phenomena of its subsoil due to pressurized underground water have played an important role in the morphogenesis. Such conditions have resulted in a fast morphological evolution which a progressive lowering of the valley floor as well as peculiar morphological features which favour the existence of numerous pits caused by sudden collapses distributed in altitude and time

Previsió d'impactes en el medi físic, derivats de l'explotació de les formacions geològiques d'interés per a la producció d'àrids, a la zona del curs mitjà del Riu Fluvià (La Garrotxa)

Potential mining of the pliocene and quaternary geological formations for the aggregate production along the medium course of the Fluvil river is likely to be carried out through gravel pits. The most significant environmental impacts are envisaged to occur during site preparation and extraction of aggregate. Several environmental impacts types have been considered: variation of water table, reduction of soil and vegetation, development of unbalanced land-forms and deterioration of landscape

Interpretación sedimentológica y paleogeográfica del nivel de areniscas eocénicas de Sarrià de Ter (Prov. de Gerona)

There is in this work a description of sedimentological characters of the medium Eocene sandstone level from Sarriá de Ter (Gerona province Spain) and an interpretation of their genesis and situation in the regional paleogeography. The conclusion is that these sandstones form a deltaic channel(delta front). To wards the E and NE the become fluvial deposits, to wards the W, Plana de Vic, they become clay and silstones considered as a prodelta
