Reljef

E-mail Ispis

Površina Šolte iznosi 57,886 km2. Prema površini je na 13. mjestu medu našim otocima, a ubraja se u srednje velike dalmatinske otoke. Duga je 19 km a široka 4,9 km. Pruža se u smjeru zapad-sjeverozapad-jugoistok.

Građena je od sedimentnih stijena, rudistnih, chondrodontnih i drugih vapnenaca kredne starosti; mjestimice ima i pojave dolomita.
Sedimenti su se izdigli iz mora vjerojatno potkraj krede (nedostatak fliša), a nabrani su za tercijarnih boranja: u tercijaru nastaju i ostali srednjodalmatinski otoci te Dinaridi.
Otokom vode dva rasjeda duž kojih je dolazilo do pokreta stijena. Oni su odredili i današnji izgled otoka.

Dva najveća vrha Šolte imaju isto ime: "Vela Straža". Istočni se ispinje do 237 m, a zapadni do 208 m. Šolta je pretežno brdovita, a u unutrašnjosti leži polje od 15 km2.

Flora $ Fauna

E-mail Ispis

There were rocky dry pastures while Šolta’s economy was based on pasture of livestock but today they turn into shrubs dominated by groundsel, feather-grass, sage and others. Weed vegetation can be seen in smaller areas. In nitrophilic areas developed nettle vegetation. On the southern part of the island where the coast is very steep and exposed to strong blows of the sea developed vegetation of vertical rocks that is fragmentary. These are fleabane, hair-grass (busina bjelusina) and knapweed of Dubrovnik.
