The harmonized geological map of Slovenia is a simplified version of the 1:250 000 scale Geological Map of Slovenia (Buser, 2009), which was compiled using the Basic Geological Map of Slovenia at a scale of 1: 100.000 (compiled by various authors during the 1960's to 1980's) with the addition of new information by Buser. It is primarily a lithostratigraphic map.The faults were selected for portrayal using two criteria; regional extent and tectonic importance. The map presented here was edited specifically for the purpose of the OneGeology-Europe project by M. Bavec, M. Novak, M. Poljak, M. Trajanova and D. Skaberne.
Layer shows discontinuities in the geological structure, and characterizes them according to their type and observation method.
The underground geothermal conditions can be presented, irrespective of the aquifers' position, with the appropriate geothermal maps. These maps represent the expected isoterms at a depths and are derived from Geothermal maps - Expected temperatures , which are made with data from 302 boreholes. It is made on the basis of measured temperatures in accessible boreholes throughout the country. However, since the temperature field depends on the geological structure in the depths and tectonic characteristics, the course of the isotherms is a result of many influences, such as thermal conductivity of rocks, permeability and fracturing of rocks, all of which are reflected in the measured temperatures in boreholes. The distribution of boreholes, which were useful for the measurement of temperature, is very uneven and different as regard the depths.
Layer shows the zones where the rock is systematically fractured.
Geological Units are polygons, defined by equal composition (lithology) and age.
Geophysical cross sections show the geophysical characteristics of the sediments and bedrock at depth.
