123 Huddersfield district - Sheet Explanation for sheet E77 [Book]

Sheet Explanations provide a brief description and interpretation of the geology of the relevant BGS 1:50 000 scale map sheet area. More detailed geological information for the same area is available via the Sheet Descriptions. Sheet Explanations are printed A5 booklets and are available either singly, or as a pack together with the relevant 1:50 000 scale map, where this map is available. The district lies within the county of West Yorkshire and includes large areas of the Metropolitan Boroughs of Calderdale and Kirklees, as well as parts of the cities of Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford; it includes the former coalfield area in the eastern part of the district. The Pennine moorlands and valleys in the west are more sparsely populated. The bedrock is composed entirely of sedimentary strata deposited during the later part of the Carboniferous Period, about 323 to 311 million years ago. The oldest strata proved in the Huddersfield district are of the Namurian (Upper Carboniferous) Millstone Grit Group, which crops out in the west where it forms the high moorlands of Blackstone Edge, Buckstones Moss, Great Manshead Hill, Withens Moor and Midgley Moor. The high silica and low lime content of the rocks results in a poor acidic soil, which supports the characteristic Pennine vegetation of heather and sparse grass on a blanket of peat. Sandstones, such as the Rough Rock or Huddersfield White Rock, form west-facing escarpments with extensive dip slopes that reflect the gentle easterly dip of the strata. The Millstone Grit Group is overlain by the Coal Measures Group that crops out over the eastern part of the district and generally forms lower ground, although sandstones such as the Elland Flags and Thornhill Rock form imposing escarpments. The Coal Measures Group, in addition to coal, has yielded abundant minerals such as fireclay, brickclay, pyrite, ganister, ironstone and dimension stone. [Book]

128 Ipswich district - Sheet explanation for sheet E207

Sheet Explanations provide a brief description and interpretation of the geology of the relevant BGS 1:50 000 scale map sheet area. More detailed geological information for the same area is available via the Sheet Descriptions. Sheet Explanations are printed A5 booklets and are available either singly, or as a pack together with the relevant 1:50 000 scale map, where this map is available. Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk in eastern England. The town is a major port on the River Orwell as it opens out into the estuary. The rich loamy soils of the district were developed on glacial and fluvial deposits which include those of the ancestral River Thames, before it was diverted south to its present course by the Anglian ice sheet. The area is famous for its shelly sand 'crag' deposits; shallow water Pliocene marine sediments including the Coralline Crag, Red Crag and Norwich Crag formations.

131 Isle of Wight map pack - Extended sheet explanation plus 1:50 000 (B&Sup) special sheet map covering E330,E331, E344 and E345

This Sheet Explanation and map provides a summary of the geology of the Isle of Wight district (Special Sheet) arising from the British Geological Survey’s Isle of Wight Integrated Project.
The island has long been regarded as one of the most significant of the classic areas of British geology. It has been of interest for geological studies since the early 19th century, and is very popular for geological field excursions to satisfy all levels of academic attainment from primary and secondary school levels through to academic research studies. It is used by industry as a laboratory for the understanding of onshore exploration analogues and, size for size, has probably the greatest concentration of widely ranging research articles of anywhere in the UK. A great part of the island forms Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOBs) and a considerable length of the coastline in the south-west and north-west of the island is designated as Heritage Coast.

132 Kendal district - Sheet Explanation for sheet E039

Sheet Explanations provide a brief description and interpretation of the geology of the relevant BGS 1:50 000 scale map sheet area. More detailed geological information for the same area is available via the Sheet Descriptions. Sheet Explanations are printed A5 booklets and are available either singly, or as a pack together with the relevant 1:50 000 scale map, where this map is available. The Kendal district of Cumbria encompasses the mountain valleys of Troutbeck, Kentmere and Longsleddale within the Lake District National Park, and the Howgill Fells, part of which lie in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. There is a strong relationship between landscape and geology in this area; the volcanic-, sandstone-, mudstone- and limestone-dominated rock units are each carved into distinctive landforms. The effects of Quaternary glaciation are displayed in the present-day landscape of glacially-sculpted valleys and rugged mountains of the Lakeland fells. In the north, the Early Devonian Shap Granite is one of the best-known igneous rocks in Britain. This booklet describes the district's geology, structure, metamorphism and mineralisation, and includes information on the applied aspects such as mineral and water resources.

134 Keswick district - Sheet Explanation for sheet E29

Sheet Explanations provide a brief description and interpretation of the geology of the relevant BGS 1:50 000 scale map sheet area. More detailed geological information for the same area is available via the Sheet Descriptions. Sheet Explanations are printed A5 booklets and are available either singly, or as a pack together with the relevant 1:50 000 scale map, where this map is available. The Keswick district lies in the northern part of the Lake District National Park. The topography is dominated by the highest fells, Skiddaw and Helvellyn. The lakes of Loweswater, Crummock Water, Buttermere, Derwent Water and Thirlmere lie within the book's area. After a long history, mining and quarrying have now ceased but the evidence of these activities can clearly be seen in the landscape. The solid geology is dominated by 495 to 450 million years old sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Ordovician age but in the extreme north-east of the district are areas of younger rocks (Devonian and early Carboniferous). This resurvey has vastly improved the understanding of the lithostratigraphy - especially of the Skiddaw Group. New formations and members in the overlying Borrowdale Volcanic Group are also described.
