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.

Contours can intersect if you have an overhang. If there is a vertical drop, the contours will touch but not cross one another.

What is a cross section on a construction drawing?

A cross section on a construction drawing is a detailed representation that illustrates a vertical cut through a building or structure, showing the internal features and components at a specific location. It provides information about materials, dimensions, and spatial relationships between various elements, such as walls, floors, and foundations. Cross sections help architects, engineers, and contractors understand how different parts of the structure interact and ensure proper construction practices.
