The four types of geologic contacts traditionally shown on geologic maps?
Intrusive, erosional, structural, and depositional, I believe.
What do scientists need know about geologic formations to make a geologic map?
To have a scientist make a geologic map, they need to know something about geologic formation to show what the map is meaning. They use color to show the differences of the kind of rock and its age.
How is the geologic time scale different from time scales that show human activities or accomplishments?
The units of geologic time are much longer
Maps that show landforms on an are are called?
Its called a Topographic map
Why are maps more useful than globes are for studying small areas on the surface of earth?
because globes just show the conatents and maps show routs and ways to go
What is the difference between a political map and a physical maps?
Physical maps show physical and geologic features such as rivers and mountains. Political maps show artificial boundaries such as state lines and national borders.
How do topographic maps differ from geologic maps?
Topographic maps show topography. Topography is the height and dimensions of a land mass above water, conversely bythmetery is know as water topography. Geologic maps show geological feature of a land mass such as vegetation and climate zones.
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.
How 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 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).
The four types of geologic contacts traditionally shown on geologic maps?
Intrusive, erosional, structural, and depositional, I believe.
Why do geography need contours and cross section drawing?
Contour maps are used to show the below ground surface of geologic strata, fault surfaces (especially low angle thrust faults) and unconformities. Isopach maps use isopachs (lines of equal thickness) to illustrate variations in thickness of geologic units.
Are Geologic maps are most recognized by their colors?
Contour lines
What type of map is used to locate faults and folds in beds of rocks?
These are called geologic maps or topographic maps.
What do scientists need know about geologic formations to make a geologic map?
To have a scientist make a geologic map, they need to know something about geologic formation to show what the map is meaning. They use color to show the differences of the kind of rock and its age.
What kind of map shows rock types making up earth's surface?
A geologic map shows rock types making up earths surface.
What do unconformities show do?
unconformities show a gap in the geologic records
