    Geological Maps

    Uploaded by

    Alfred Ramos
    Geologic maps represent the distribution of different rock types and surficial deposits as well as geologic structures. Some key types of geologic maps include surface geological maps, which show geology below ground at scales of 1:50,000 or larger; outcrop maps, which show the location of rock exposures at scales of 1:100,000 or smaller; and structure maps, which show depth contours to illustrate subsurface geology at medium to large scales. Topographic maps also provide geological data and depict land elevation through contour lines.
