Swaledale occupies the long, sinuous valley carved by the River Swale on its 45-kilometre descent from Nine Standards Rigg (662 m) on the Pennine watershed to Richmond in lower Teesdale. The dale narrows between rough gritstone scarps near Keld, broadens to a patchwork of hay-meadows around Muker and Gunnerside, then opens into a tree-fringed flood-plain west of Reeth before the river cuts through the Carboniferous escarpment to meet the Vale of Mowbray.

This report intends to provide an understanding of the major geological landscape of the Iberian Peninsular. We can understand Iberia as having five tectonic provinces – zones of underlying tectonic activity, caused by two plates, or distinct bodies of earth mass, are moving towards, or away from each other. This, combined with the geology of the earth at that point: the rock, etc, that forms the basic structural profile for the peninsular overall.
