How are geologic units of similar ages shown on a geologic map?
A geologic map shows geologic units of various rock types and ages. Geologic units of similar ages are shown on a geologic map using the same color and symbol.
What is the Geologic maps definition?
A geologic map or geological map is a special-purpose map made to show geological features. Rock units or geologic strata are shown by color or symbols to indicate where they are exposed at the surface. Bedding planes and structural features such as faults, folds, foliations, and lineations are shown with strike and dip or trend and plunge symbols which give these features' three-dimensional orientations.Stratigraphic contour lines may be used to illustrate the surface of a selected stratum illustrating the subsurface topographic trends of the strata. Isopach maps detail the variations in thickness of stratigraphic units. It is not always possible to properly show this when the strata are extremely fractured, mixed, in some discontinuities, or where they are otherwise disturbed.
How many formula units are in the unit cell shown?

What units are most commonly used to describe the surface gravity of mars?
Same units as are used to describe the surface gravity of the Earth, the moon, or any other body: Units of acceleration, such as meter/sec2 or feet/sec2 .
What smaller units of geologic time make up eras?
An era is a geologic division of time that dates from a particularly significant event. A smaller unit of an era would be a period which is further subdivided into an epoch and then an age.

How are geologic units of similar ages are shown on a geologic map.?
on geologic maps, geologic units are distinguished by color. UNITS OF SIMILAR ARE ASSIGNED COLOR IN THE SAME COLOR FAMILY.

What does geologic time have to do with eras?
Eras are subdivisions of larger units of geologic time called eons.
What do the colors on a geologic map represent?
Geologic maps use color to represent various types of geologic features or units (a particular type of rock with a known age range).
