Geological maps

Geological maps are specialized visual representations that show the types, distribution, and age of rock formations and sediments on the Earth's surface. They use colors and symbols to indicate different geological features, such as rock types, faults, and mineral resources. These maps are valuable for understanding the Earth's structure, evaluating natural resources, and assessing geological hazards. They are essential tools for geologists, urban planners, and environmental scientists to make informed decisions about land use, construction, and conservation. By revealing the Earth's history and processes, geological maps enhance our understanding of the environment and its resources.
