Sediment data show mainly the prevalence of soil types covering the bedrock surface for whole Norway. Most of the soils were formed during and after the last ice age. The data shows only the soil that dominates in the upper meters of the terrain surface. Thick and thin layers by other soils may occur further down in the soil profile. The dataset was first published i 1990, and updated in 2013.

The application provides an overview of superficial deposits in Norway. Polygons have been compiled, generalized and harmonized from all available quaternary maps published by the Geological Survey of Norway. Soils/superficial deposits are classified according to their genesis and thickness. The map service shows coverage map of various mapping scales.

The bedrock data shows the prevalence of rocks and rock structures on the earth's surface.\\n \\nThe data in Berggrunn N250/Bedrock 1:250.000 is mainly based on the nationwide, printed bedrock geological map series at a scale of 1: 250,000. The entire data set is later harmonized across map sheet boundaries and updated with newer available map data.\\n \\nThe data set provides information on the geological properties of the rocks and structures (including main rock type, age of formation (genesis) and tectonic main division for rock surfaces and structure names and kinematic type for structures).
