geology

Rosières lies partly in the Emblavès plain, the formation of which goes back to the Tertiary . The layers of clay , descended from the primordial seas of the Massif Central , covered granite formations , some of which, like the Emblavès basin, have sunk. The municipal area does not only extend in the plain, there are also elevations of volcanic origin, which were formed about 13 million years ago by the eruption of lava . When it was viscous, it would pool to form a dome called suc, such as B. the current surveys Suc de Rougeac , Suc de la Mûre and Suc de Jalore . Through this volcanic activity, the power of the flowing waters was activated: the clay layers were cleared by erosion and today show their different colors in some places, the generally whitish color of which is interrupted by red, green, blue and ocher-yellow intermediate layers .
