In teaching technical geography, instructors often need to fall back on examples from human and physical geography to explain the theoretical concepts. [14] While technical geography mostly works with quantitative data, the techniques and technology can be applied to qualitative geography, differentiating it from quantitative geography. [1]
Texas is approximately bisected by a series of faults that trend southwest to northeast across the state, from the area of Uvalde to Texarkana.South and east of these faults, the surface exposures consist mostly of Cenozoic sandstone and shale strata that grow progressively younger toward the coast, indicative of a regression that has continued from the late Mesozoic to the present.
The mountain is composed of volcanic rock which formed 33–42 million years ago during the late Eocene Epoch. The volcanic rocks exposed at Tule Mountain in stratigraphic order are Chisos tuffs, Ash Spring Basalt, Chisos tuffs and conglomerates, Mule Ear Spring Tuff, and Tule Mountain Trachyandesite at the top which is dated at 33 Ma.

The Geography of Texas — of the U.S. state in the Central and Southern United States. In some biogeography systems, the state is alternately placed in the South–Central United States region, with New Mexico.
The geography of Texas is diverse and large. Occupying about 7% of the total water and land area of the U.S., [1] it is the second largest state after Alaska, and is the southernmost part of the Great Plains, which end in the south against the folded Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico.
Technical geography concerns studying and developing tools, techniques, and statistical methods employed to collect, analyze, use, and understand spatial data. [26] [3] [60] [62] Technical geography is the most recently recognized, and controversial, of the branches
Willow Mountain is the most spectacular display of rock joints in the southern Big Bend area. [8] The mountain mass is an intrusive plug, which cooled below the surface and was subsequently uncovered by erosion.
