Geologic mapping of Georgia means that scientists go outside and look carefully at the rocks and dirt that cover the ground in Georgia. They take notes on what they see, like the color of the rocks, how big they are, and whether they're bumpy or smooth. Then they make a big map that shows all the different kinds of rocks and dirt they found.
This map helps people understand what's under the ground in Georgia. It helps scientists figure out where oil, gas, and other important resources might be hidden. And it helps builders and planners know where it's safe to build houses, roads, and other important structures.
