Geologic Maps show the arrangement and types of rocks at the Earth's surface.
The four types of geologic contacts shown on geologic maps are faults, igneous intrusions, unconformities, and sedimentary contacts. These contacts represent boundaries between different rock units with distinct characteristics and histories. Geologists use these contacts to understand the geologic history of an area and to interpret the relationships between different rock formations.
Its called a Topographic 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.
Weather maps show various facts regarding the weather of a particular place including patterns of high and low pressure, temperature gradients, wind speed, and much more.
Weather maps show various meteorological information such as temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, pressure systems, and cloud cover. They are used by meteorologists to analyze and forecast the weather.
Physical maps show physical and geologic features such as rivers and mountains. Political maps show artificial boundaries such as state lines and national borders.
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.
on geologic maps, geologic units are distinguished by color. UNITS OF SIMILAR ARE ASSIGNED COLOR IN THE SAME COLOR FAMILY.

Geologic maps use color to represent various types of geologic features or units (a particular type of rock with a known age range).
Contour lines
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.
unconformities show a gap in the geologic records
The four types of geologic contacts shown on geologic maps are faults, igneous intrusions, unconformities, and sedimentary contacts. These contacts represent boundaries between different rock units with distinct characteristics and histories. Geologists use these contacts to understand the geologic history of an area and to interpret the relationships between different rock formations.
A geologic map shows rock types making up earths surface.
geologic maps
Geologic maps of southern Italy can be obtained from the Italian Geological Survey (Servizio Geologico d'Italia) or the Geological Society of Italy (Società Geologica Italiana). Some universities or research institutions may also have these maps available for reference or purchase. Online resources such as geological data portals or digital map repositories may also provide access to geologic maps of southern Italy.
