Room 1 – The Geological Formation of Galicia

A FORMACIÓN DE GALICIA E AS ROCHAS DO XEOPARQUE

THE GEOLOGICAL FORMATION OF GALICIA

The syncline of the Sierra de O Courel and the roks of the geopark.

 

In this room we can see the analysis of the Campodola-Leixazós folding (Courel synclinal), one of the main geological events that define the territory of Galicia as we know it today. How and when was it formed? What is a folding? What types of folds are there?
