Description:

Abstract:

This coverage includes arcs, polygons and polygon labels that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the Far East (China, Mongolia, North and South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and parts of Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam). Each province has a set of geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Offshore province boundaries are defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour.

Purpose:

To delineate geologic province boundaries in Open File Report 97-470F Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields of the The Far East, which is being compiled as a small scale geologic reference for the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. This coverage is used to produce a map and an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document of the map, to be published on CD-ROM. An Arcview shapefile derived from this coverage is used in an Arcview project.

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

This coverage is a portion of a composite coverage composed of geologic provinces defined by regional coordinators of the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project and others. There have been updates and corrections in spelling of the names of the provinces since they were first published in Open File Report 97-463 (Klett and others, 1997). The following provinces depicted in this coverage have been updated:

 

 
 
 
 
 

3108 Cuoqing Lupola Basin            is now            Cuoqing Lunpola Basin
3115 Jungger Basin                         is now             Junggar Basin
3159 Yingehai Basin                       is now            Yinggehai Basin
3403 Huskan Platform                     is now            Huksan Platform
3404 Korba Bay Basin                    is now            Korea Bay Basin

         Changes have been reviewed by regional coordinator.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Polygon topology is present, each polygon has one unique label point, there are no dangles, polygons are bounded at extent of coverage. The coverage is topologically cleaned and built in Arc/Info.

Completeness_Report:

Geologic provinces are delineated by U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project regional coordinators and others with an emphasis on the determination of petroleum systems. Methods may vary from one region to another. The coverage has been updated. Spelling errors in province names are corrected. Province boundaries are adjusted to more closely match surface surface geology, where applicable.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Coverage has a fuzzy tolerance of 500 meters. Province boundaries are adjusted to more closely match surface geology, where applicable, since the provinces were first published in Open File Report 97-463 (Klett and others, 1997) Boundary changes have been reviewed by regional coordinator.
