Mapped global geologic provinces. A geologic map or geological map is a special-purpose map made to show various geological features. Rock units or geologic strata are shown by color or symbols.
Oblique aerial photograph covering the Cappadocia, nearby Gorëme, Turkey.. Aerial photograph interpretation is a method of extrapolating geological details of the ground surface from aerial images. [1]
The full official Indonesian name is the Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (English: Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Center), often abbreviated to PVMBG. [1] It is based in Bandung in West Java. [2] It was preceded by the Netherlands East Indies Volcanological Survey. [3]
Solidified lava flow in Hawaii Sedimentary layers in Badlands National Park, South Dakota Metamorphic rock, Nunavut, Canada. Geology (from Ancient Greek γῆ (gê) 'earth' and λoγία () 'study of, discourse') [1] [2] is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical objects, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time.

A geological contact is a boundary which separates one rock body from another. [1] A contact can be formed during deposition, by the intrusion of magma, [2] or through faulting or other deformation of rock beds that brings distinct rock bodies into contact.
Incorporating the spatial positions of the major formation boundaries, including the effects of faulting, folding, and erosion (unconformities).The major stratigraphic divisions are further subdivided into layers of cells with differing geometries with relation to the bounding surfaces (parallel to top, parallel to base, proportional).
Regional geology is the geological study of large-scale regions. Usually, it encompasses multiple geological disciplines to piece together the history of an area. It is the geologic equivalent of regional geography.
The Richat Structure in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania.Once considered to be an impact structure, it is now classified as a geologic dome uplifted by an underlying igneous intrusion.
