Geologic map

A geologic map shows different kinds of rocks and where they are located. The rocks may be different colors like brown, yellow, or gray and could look like different shapes from chunks to squiggly lines. These different shapes and colors let scientists know what kind of rocks are in a certain area. It also shows the direction in which the rocks were formed and how old they are. Geologic maps help scientists learn more about the Earth and decide where to dig for natural resources, like oil and gas.
