What is the primary purpose of a geologic map?

To identify the location of mineral resources
To determine the age of rocks
To understand the geologic history of an area
To predict future geologic events

What is the most common type of geologic map?

Topographic map
Geologic map
Hydrologic map

What is the difference between a geologic map and a topographic map?

Geologic maps show the distribution of rocks, while topographic maps show the elevation of the land surface.
Geologic maps show the age of rocks, while topographic maps show the relief of the land surface.
Geologic maps show the structure of rocks, while topographic maps show the vegetation on the land surface.
Geologic maps show the mineral resources in an area, while topographic maps show the water resources in an area.

What are the different types of geologic maps?
