the geology of the land - the rock types and rock directions and rock height
A physiographic map is a type of map that represents the natural features and landscape of an area, such as mountains, valleys, plains, and bodies of water. It helps to visualize the physical geography of a region by using a combination of colors, shading, and contour lines to show elevation and topography.
No it doesn't show elevation. I was looking for it too but it doesnt seem like it to me.
Political system distribution
A physical map shows natural features of the Earth's surface such as mountains, rivers, and elevation, while a political map shows boundaries between countries, states, and cities. Physical maps focus on geography and topography, while political maps focus on administrative divisions and borders.
Airplane pilots typically use topographic maps, which show elevation and physical features of the Earth's surface, to navigate during flights. These maps provide information on terrain, airports, restricted areas, and other important features that help pilots plan routes and ensure a safe journey. Geologic maps, on the other hand, focus on the distribution of rock types and geological formations and are not commonly used for aviation navigation.
Geologic units of similar ages are typically shown on a geologic map using the same color or pattern to represent them. This helps to visually differentiate between different units and understand their distribution across a region. Stratigraphic relationships and relative ages may also be indicated to show how these units are connected in terms of geologic time.
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.
A geologic cross section map is commonly used to show rock structures underground. This type of map displays the geologic features and structures beneath the Earth's surface in a vertical plane, allowing for the visualization of the different rock layers and their relationships at depth.

on geologic maps, geologic units are distinguished by color. UNITS OF SIMILAR ARE ASSIGNED COLOR IN THE SAME COLOR FAMILY.

Because you can not dig it
Geologic Map
Physical maps show physical and geologic features such as rivers and mountains. Political maps show artificial boundaries such as state lines and national borders.
Hi zup
unconformities show a gap in the geologic records
