geologic map

A geologic map is a specialized type of map that shows the distribution, nature, and age of rocks and earth materials on the Earth's surface. It uses different colors and symbols to represent various rock types, formations, and structures like faults or folds. Geologists use these maps to understand Earth's history, locate natural resources, assess geological hazards, and plan engineering projects. Essentially, it provides a visual record of what lies beneath the surface in a specific area, helping us interpret past geological processes and conditions.
