For the offshore component, the map uses data and divisions from the Geoscience Australia ‘Australian Geological Provinces’ GIS dataset, with polygons adjusted to match seamlessly into the onshore tectonic elements. The nomenclature and hierarchy for the tectonic units are based on weekly updates from the GSWA Explanatory Notes System (ENS). In order to provide the most up-todate geological information for the units in question, attribution from the original source is modified to remove superseded units, display correct tectonic relationships and include more recent geochronology. This digital layer is designed to outline tectonic units at the highest levels within the tectonic hierarchy; that is, to delineate the areal extent of cratons, orogens, and basins. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[106.56907206700004, -37.61053267799997], [129.00079892200006, -37.61053267799997], [129.00079892200006, -9.38137609699993], [106.56907206700004, -9.38137609699993], [106.56907206700004, -37.61053267799997]]]} 106.56907206700004 129.00079892200006 -37.61053267799997 -9.38137609699993 10 000 000 Geology Geoscience Tectonic Tectonic units 1:10 000 000 documentDigital The digital '1:10 000 000 tectonic units of Western Australia, 2016' has been compiled by rolling up and simplifying from the digital '1:500 000 tectonic units of Western Australia, 2015' for optimal display at 1:10 000 000 scale. For the offshore component, the map uses data and divisions from the Geoscience Australia ‘Australian Geological Provinces’ GIS dataset, with polygons adjusted to match seamlessly into the onshore tectonic elements. The nomenclature and hierarchy for the tectonic units are based on the GSWA Explanatory Notes System (February 2016). This digital layer is designed to outline tectonic units at the highest levels within the tectonic hierarchy; that is, to delineate the areal extent of cratons, orogens, and basins. Magmatic units defining large igneous provinces (LIPs) are represented on a companion layer, the '1:10 000 000 large igneous provinces of Western Australia, 2016'. Polygons on this map represent the present-day area of tectonic units, without inference on their original extent, although some units are extended below younger cover where constraints are known. However, the extent of Proterozoic orogens is not shown under cover or in offshore areas.

FGDB Web Feature Service documentDigital Web Feature Service (WFS) provides an interface that allows requests for geographical features across the web using platform independent calls. WFS allows a user to download and spatially analyse the features within a datset. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS. WFS ArcGIS Server Map Service documentDigital An ArcGIS Server Map Service offers access to a geographic dataset - such as a map or imagery - by providing a set of tiled images for use in web-based maps. Depending on the capabilities enabled, this web service may also allow a client to dynamically draw, search, and query its features. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as ArcGIS and QGIS. API ArcGIS Server Map Service Web Mapping Service documentDigital Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images over the internet that are generated by a map server using data from a GIS database. WMS allows a user to spatially visualise the dataset, and query individual features, but does not allow downloading the raw data. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS. WMS
