GEOLOGIC MAPS

A geologic map is a map of the different types of rocks that are on the surface of the Earth. By mapping different rock types, geologists can determine the relationships between different rock formations which can then be used to find mineral resources, oil, and gravel deposits. Also, you want to know what type of rock you are building on or else you might have a Leaning Tower of Pisa or a pile of rubble after a strong earthquake.

   Go to the activity and construct your own geologic map.
