A geology map is a map that, rather than showing the cities, roads and rivers in an area, shows the types of rocks that make up the area. There are different types of geology maps: a surficial geology map shows the rock types and soil types found right at the surface. A bedrock geology map shows the type of rocks that make up the solid rock underneath the soils and dirt at the surface.

What is palimetric map?
A palimetric map is a type of topographic map that represents the elevation and relief of a landscape using contour lines. These maps display the three-dimensional shape of terrain in a two-dimensional format, helping to visualize hills, valleys, and slopes. They are commonly used in geology, land use planning, and environmental studies to assess landforms and their characteristics. Additionally, palimetric maps can aid in understanding drainage patterns and watershed management.
How do you scientists use topographic maps?
