2. THE RELIEF AND THE SOILS OF SPAIN:


   Distinguish between:


   - Peninsular relief: formed by the Plateau and its mountain
      borders. High average altitude (660 m.).


  - Insular relief: Canary Islands (volcanic. Teide, 3.718 m.) and
  Balearic Islands (prolongation of betic systems . Puig Major, 1.445 m.).




                            José Antonio Barrera Lara                 8
2.1. THE PLATEAU:
             Peninsular center.
             Surrounded by mountain ranges.
             Highlands and lowlands.

 Surrounded by:
  Central System: divides the Plateau in 2 parts:
             North Subplateau and South subplateau.
            The mountains of: Somosierra, Gredos, Guadarrama, etc.
            Highest mountain: Almanzor: 2.592 m.

 Montes de Toledo: Highest mountain: Las Villuercas (1.601 m.). Divides the South
 Subplateau in two parts:
             •  North: Tajo basin.
             •  South: Guadiana basin.
                               José Antonio Barrera Lara                            9
2.2. Plateau borders:

Galaico-leonés Massif: Northeastern part of the peninsula peninsular. In the coasts:
   rías. Montes de León (Teleno, 2.188 m).


Cantabric Mountains: isolates the Plateau from the influence of the sea. Picos de Europa
(Torre Cerredo, 2.648 m).

Iberic System: Group of mountains:
(Albarracín, Demanda, Picos de Urbión, Serranía de Cuenca).
Moncayo (2.313 m).

Sierra Morena: step that separates the Plateau from the peninsular South. Bañuela, 1.323 m.


                                       José Antonio Barrera Lara                              10
2.3. The exterior depressions:

1. Ebro depression: isolated from Mediterranean Sea by a group of
mountains.

2. Guadalquivir depression: wide plateau. Triangular shape.
Open to Atlantic Ocean. Fertile vegas, contrysides and wetlands.




                              José Antonio Barrera Lara             11
2.4. Exterior mountain ranges:

         1. Basque Mountains: between Cantabric Mountains and Pirineos. Many
            valleys. Not too high.

         2. Pirineos: joins the peninsula with the rest of Europe.
         Biggest mountain range. Central side highest. Aneto, 3.404 m.

ntains: 2 parallel groups of mountains open to the Mediterranean Sea. They close Ebro Depression


heastern peninsular. They are divided in: Penibetic Mountains (parallel to the coast. Mulhacén, 3.841




                                          José Antonio Barrera Lara                         12
2.5. Coasts:

•Wide  and varied.
•North: rocky.
•Highlight the rías.
•At the South and Mediterranean coast: sand beaches and rocky areas.




                             José Antonio Barrera Lara                 13
2.6. The soils:
                According to the type of rock:



     Siliceous (granite and slate): peninsular west.
     Limestone (karst landscape): numerous sierras of the east, south and
      north.
     Igneous (volcanic origin): Canary Islands.
     Clays: peninsular center and Ebro and Guadalquivir valleys.




                              José Antonio Barrera Lara                      14
3.1 Rivers: according to its slope:

1. Cantabric slope: numerous, shorts, flowing, regular scheme. Ej.: Bidasoa,
   Nervión, Nalón and Narcea.


2. Atlantic slope: In Galicia: numerous and regulars. Eg.: Miño and Sil.
The rest: numerous tributaries, long, irregular scheme, drought. Eg. Tajo, Duero,
Guadiana and Guadalquivir.


3. Mediterranean slope:
Except the Ebro, they're shorts and irregulars. Summer drought.
Devastating floods. Eg.: Ter, Turia, Júcar, Segura.



                                   José Antonio Barrera Lara                        15

3.2. Lakes and lagoons:
According to its origin, we can distinguish three types:

        1. Endogenous: movements of Earth's soil:
Tectonics (Laguna de la Janda, Cádiz)
Volcanic (ancient craters).
        2. Exogenous: by erosion.
Glaciers (Sanabria lake, Zamora)
Karsts.
Arreicos (undrained) in sunken areas (Tablas Daimiel),
Eolic (Ampurdán, Gerona),
Littoral (Mar Menor, Albufera, Guadalquivir wetlands, Ebro Delta).
        3. Mixed: different combined origins. Ej.: Banyoles Lake (Gerona), of
             tectonic and karst origin.

                                        José Antonio Barrera Lara               17
4. WEATHER AND VEGETATION:

4.1. WEATHER:

                 In general:




 •Terperature  rises to the South.
 •Higher temperature range in the interior.
 •Precipitations: great differences between North &
 South.



                      José Antonio Barrera Lara       19
José Antonio Barrera Lara   20
Kinds of weather:

Oceanic: mild temperatures. Heavy rains during the whole year. North and Northwest
of the peninsula.

Mediterranean: summer drought. It divides in coastal mediterranean weather
(mild temperatures and moderate rain) and interior mediterranean weather
(↓ rain. ↑temperature range)


High Mountain: Mountains. Cold winters and fresh summers.


Subtropical:  T.R. (Temperature Range).  rain. Tipical of Canary Islands.



                                      José Antonio Barrera Lara                      21
José Antonio Barrera Lara   22
4.2. Vegetation and natural
landscape:


 Of the most varied and richest in Europe.




                José Antonio Barrera Lara    23
The most important formations and landscapes
(according to the weather) are:


1. Oceanic: decidious forests. Ex.: oak, beech, chestnut, elm, etc. Wildlife:
    deer, grouse, bear, wolf.

2. Mediterranean: xerophytic. Mediterranean forest: holm oak, cork, bush
(rockrose, thyme, rosemary, ...). Large predators, lynx.

3. Subtropical: xerophytic. Laurel forests, dense and lush. Pigeons,
giant lizard of El Hierro and La Gomera.

                        José Antonio Barrera Lara   25
5. NATURAL RESOURCES:

Overall: Spain: poor or already overexploited natural resources. Just profitable
mines. Few forests (desertification).

Spain has not petrol. Need to invest in renewable and clean energy.
Difficulties in communications uneven floors
-Expensive infrastructures-.
Scarcity of water, especially in the Levant and South.
Need of consciousness in saving of water. Exhausted fisheries.


Generally poor soils.

Favorable climate for tourism.

      Subbética (interior): Mountains of Cazorla, Segura and La Sagra in North.
      Center: Mágina, Jabalcuz and Cabra. West: Grazalema.
      Penibética (coast): Sierra of Ronda, of los Filabres and Sierra Nevada.
      Depresión intrabética: parallel the mountain ranges Subbética and Penibética.
      Pits and depressions can highlight. Ej.: Baza, Guadix, Loja, Antequera.
   4. Coast: extensive Mediterranean and Atlantic coast.
   Atlantic coast: low and sandy coast. Usual dunes.
   Highlights: Gulf and Bay of Cádiz and CapeTrafalgar.
   Mediterranean coast: dominated by rocky coastlines and cliffs.

                        ●   On the Atlantic coast, milder temperatures and more rain.
           ●     a.2) Mediterranean climate of interior: Greater thermal amplitude than
                 in the coast.

        b) In Sierra Nevada and Sierra de la Sagra: high mountain climate: cold and long
               winters with frequent snowfall.

6.4. Vegetation:


         Differences between interior and coast:

         1. Interior: highlights: Mediterranean forest: oaks, cork oaks and
              scrub (mastic, thyme and rosemary, garrigue -and esparto grass,
              palm, rock-).

         2. Coast: sand dunes. Stone pines.

         3. In marshes and estuaries, rush and junk.
