 Introduction to geological maps
 Characteristics
 Topographic maps
 Contour maps
 Reading map & Reading geological structures
• Folds
• Faults
• Dip and Strike
 Conclusion
Habib-ur-Rehman (D-13-PG-23)
 Geological map is a map showing the rocks,
(usually in units called formations) that crop
out surface of the earth in specific area.
Habib-ur-Rehman (D-13-PG-23)
 Shows geological features
 Shows geological structures
 Relative ages of rocks
 Contacts between various rocks
Habib-ur-Rehman (D-13-PG-23)
 A topographic map is one which shows
configuration of land surface with the help of
contours
Habib-ur-Rehman (D-13-PG-23)
 Contour or contour line is line on map which
has the same elevation above the sea level
along the entire length
Habib-ur-Rehman (D-13-PG-23)
 V that point up valley
 Near upper part of hills form
closure
 Widely spaces on gentle
slopes and closed spaced for
steep slopes
 Do not cross each other
Habib-ur-Rehman (D-13-PG-23)
 Contour map is a geological means of
representing the earth’s three-dimensional
surface into two-dimensions
Habib-ur-Rehman (D-13-PG-23)
Geological structures
 Folds
 Faults
 Dip
 Strike
 Etc.
