Geology Faults

Geology faults are part of the British Columbia Digital Geology, which is the data source used for the seamless province-wide, up-to-date, and detailed bedrock geology. The bedrock geology integrates all details of compilations from 1:50,000 to 1:250,000. The data is maintained by a geospatial frame data model with techniques used to simplify the integration process and shorten the time frame from field mapping, compilation, integration, to data delivery. Geology faults with the related data sets, Bedrock Geology and Quaternary Alluvium and Cover, are displayed on MapPlace and MapPlace 2 and is available for download in shapefile and GeoPackage formats.
