Reading Geologic Maps in 3D

Description

Geologic maps show rock units at Earth’s surface and help geologists infer what lies below it. They began in Europe in the mid-to-late 18th century and have since become a key tool for studying rock distribution, subsurface structure, and changes through time. A modern geologic map is a data-rich, two-dimensional plan view b...

Transcript

Le sezioni trasversali geologiche possono valutare i modelli temporali della formazione rocciosa nel tempo.

Utilizzando mappe geologiche, è possibile generare sezioni trasversali che prevedono gli strati delle rocce sotto la superficie e stimano la forma della roccia in superficie prima dell'erosione.

La sezione trasversale risulta...
