Description
An area of bare rock is sparsely vegetated or not vegetated at all, so that the solid bedrock becomes visible.
Areas to tag could be
- high altitude mountain areas where the rock lays bare, like summits, aretes and rock faces, but not scree, shingle or moraines.
- rocky coasts
- rocky areas in uplands, desert and polar regions
- outcrops like open pit mines or road cuts
- monolithic mountains like Uluru (Ayers Rock).
How to map
To map an area of bare rock you can just draw a line closing on itself, marking the area as bare rock. To map larger or more complex areas you can use Relation:multipolygon with the same tag.
Examples
Precambrium Granite exposed at "The Castle" near Wellington Lake, Colorado, USA.
Limestone (Wettersteinkalk) in the "Wilder Kaiser", Northern Calcareous Alps (Austria, Scheffau)
