Interpreting Geology Key Terms Definitions And Practice Lab

Interpreting Geology Key Terms Definitions And Practice Lab About the book. this textbook is a comprehensive lab manual for the core curriculum introductory geosciences classes with both informational content and laboratory exercises. topics include basic laws and theories in geology, the earth's interior and plate tectonics, water and climate change, igneous rocks and volcanoes, and earthquakes. 4.06 lab interpreting geology part 1: key terms practice 10 pts instructions use your guided notes or refer to the lesson noted (4.04 and 4.05) to determine which picture and term fits the definition in the table. when you find the correct definition, copy the appropriate term in the left column. then drag and drop the picture that best.

Interpreting Geologic History Most geologic maps have the following features (figure 16.2): 1. the map itself. 2. the map legend or key that explains all the symbols on the map. 3. geologic cross section (s) of the map area. these will be explored further in the next chapter. figure 16.2: 1) geologic map, 2) legend and 3) cross sections. 9.2 geological maps. as we learned in lab 8, the purpose of a map is not limited to navigation. a geological map is arguably the most important tool a geologist uses to understand the earth. geological maps are used to convey information about where measurements were recorded in the field, to show the ages, distribution and orientation of rocks. Geologic maps include strike and dip symbols showing the orientation and slope of rock beds, which we covered in an earlier lab (see tilted beds and strike and dip). some geologic maps also show the orientation of the foliation in metamorphic rocks with special foliation strike and dip symbols. figure 5. strike and dip symbols from a map key.
