Neotectonic Map of Spain at a scale of 1:1,000,000
The Neotectonic Map expresses those structural, morphological, stratigraphic and other features that show relatively recent movements (from the period considered neotectonic), as well as the type of stress to which the peninsula is subjected. Its objectives are to identify deformations from the Middle Miocene - Upper Miocene boundary to the present day. The materials have been classified into six categories, two for volcanic materials differentiated by age; and four for the rest of the materials, with four subdivisions according to age. It also includes tectonic structures, stress and deformation directions, diapiric structures and other related phenomena, all with age expression. The map contains information on the Spanish continental shelf. This map, of national scope, has been produced by the Geological Survey of Spain in collaboration with the National Radioactive Waste Company (ENRESA).

The Iberian Peninsula is an active geodynamic region with a recognised medium seismicity, either due to the occurrence of earthquakes or due to the action of slower and less sudden tectonic processes, sometimes imperceptible to man, but which in the long run have an impact on socio-economic and environmental aspects. These dynamics can eventually translate into risk to life and substantial economic losses. This map is therefore applicable in many areas of action such as land-use plans, urban planning, emergency and civil protection plans, industrial and military installations, public works and seismic prediction programmes. Always bearing in mind that its scale orients it to national or regional projects, requiring detailed studies for larger scales.

Data Quality
The work began with the collection of bibliographic data and unpublished works. Subsequently, a working scale with abundant cartographic reference information was selected, which was the 1:200,000 scale. From here, reference cartographic documents were selected and analysed (topographic bases, geological information, satellite images) and the work was regionalised. Finally, various cartographic documents were produced at a scale of 1:200,000, which were used to produce the final map at a scale of 1:1,000,000 on a non-deformable support that served as a support for digitisation.
