Types of ground in Morón de la Frontera
In Morón de la Frontera, soils of sandstones, conglomerates and flysch predominate, accompanied by a significant presence of limestones, dolomites and marbles, as well as fine sands and silts. This lithological variety generally provides a good bearing capacity for conventional foundations, although the low permeability of the subsoil may generate shallow aquifers, which must be considered for correct drainage and foundation stability, especially in areas with finer materials.
The municipality is located in a region with high seismicity, recording 200 events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 5.2, which makes it mandatory to incorporate seismic criteria into structural design. In addition, the presence of limestones and dolomites implies a possible development of karstic phenomena, so it is essential to carry out a specific karst verification before starting the foundation. The absence of clayey materials rules out the risk of expansive soils; seismicity and the presence of karst are the main factors to be assessed in any geotechnical study in Morón de la Frontera.
Sandstones, Conglomerates and Flysch
Sedimentary rocks formed by the cementation of fragments of other pre-existing rocks. They include sandstones (cemented sand), conglomerates (cemented gravels) and the rhythmic alternation of sandston

Fine sands and silts
Fine to very fine granular soils with medium to loose compacity. Typical of floodplains and coastlines. Although they can support light buildings, they are treacherous soils linked to water processes:
