Comprehensive Geological Overview of the Geopark: Scientific Map and Analysis
This detailed geological map of the Geopark serves as a scientific resource for researchers, geologists, and academics. It presents an in-depth analysis of the region’s diverse lithological formations and tectonic features. Key highlights include the Lefkara Formation's white chalks, extensive pillow lava systems in the Kamara and Maroullena rivers, and the Harzburgite-rodingite dyke complexes. The map also documents fault systems, such as the Arakapas fault zone, and magmatic structures, including layered and massive gabbro intrusions. Ancient mining sites and evidence of magmatic processes, such as cumulate rocks from upper magmatic chambers, are meticulously outlined. This publication supports scientific exploration by offering insights into the region's volcanic and sedimentary evolution, supported by precise stratigraphic and structural details. Designed for the scientific community, this map is an invaluable tool for advancing geological research and fostering an understanding of complex geodynamic processes within the Geopark's framework.
