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...

Geologische profielen kunnen temporele modellen van gesteentevorming in de loop van de tijd beoordelen.

Met behulp van geologische kaarten kunnen profielen worden gegenereerd die de straten van de gesteenten onder de oppervlakte voorspellen en de gesteentevorm boven de grond schatten vóór erosie.

Het resulterende profiel is een doors...
