How are geologic units of similar ages shown on a geologic map?

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.

What do the black thick lines on a Geologic map mean?

That depends on what type of map you are referring to. On a weather map it's usually part of a warm front. On a road map they could be any type of road the cartographer specifies. On a topographical map they could be elevation lines. On the Washington Transit Map it's the red line train. Check the legend and it will more than likely tell you.
