Strand Municipality cover an area of just less than 200 km2. The elevation increases from the western coastline to east ( highest peaks ~750m). The municipality is bordered in the north and south fiords in the WE direction and a typical glacial valley runs east/west between these fiords. The rocks are mainly gneisses ( in the western lowlands) and granites (in the eastern mountainous area) originating from the Sveco-Norwegian orogeny. Caledonian mica schists and phyllites searate the two. There are no well known mineral localities here
