Geology
Geologically the Catalan Mediterranean System is the result of a tectonic uplift, about 300 km long and roughly 50 km wide. Transversally the system can be divided in three zones: *Northern Zone, between the Empordà comarca and the Llobregat. This zone is of paleozoic and crystalline composition *Central Zone, between rivers Llobregat and Ebre *Southern Zone, between the Baix Ebre comarca and the Millars River in the Valencian Community. Both the central and the southern zone are of mesozoic and tertiary composition.See also
