A similar problem is the portrayal of the undulations — the relief — of the earth’s surface. Early map-makers attempted to depict relief by drawing humpy little hills, often wildly exaggerated in h

The general idea was introduced in section 2.3.1; the first part of this chapter explains it in detail. The second part of the chapter expands on

This is borne out historically, as sections were being drawn long before geological maps. Cross-sections portray the arrangement of the rocks as seen

Now we return to the other approach to geological maps, that of making rapid visual assessments of the geology of an area. Central to this issue is an understanding of the outcrop patterns which appear on maps. Strictly, it is the junctions of outcrops, the t

Even non-geologists may well know something about faults, if only the devastating effects of earthquakes that can arise from earth movements along them

We have, however, to be more cautious with non-sedimentary materials, for their shape can be much less regular. It

For the outcrop patterns on maps can reveal much of how the rock arrangements evolved through time; they enable interpretations to be made on the geological history of the map area, even the reconstruction of past geological environments.
