They often accompany geologic maps, complementing the overhead view with a side-on view, which can help to visualize the three-dimensional structure of the region and clarify the relationships between features. [1] [2] A cross section is drawn as a vertical map, as if the ground had been cut open and exposed along a given line. Various lines ...

The new edition that was published in 2009, contains a 1:75,000 geology map of the island, 6 maps (1:25,000) containing topography, street directory and geology, a sheet of cross section and a locality map. The difference found between the 1976 Geology of Singapore report include numerous formations found in literature between 1976 and 2009.
BGS Groundhog Desktop is a software tool developed and made available by the British Geological Survey and used for geological data visualisation, interpretation and 3D geologic modelling. It is available in both free-to-use and commercial editions.
Fig. 12: The upper diagram shows a cross-section A-A' along the fold crests of two growing folds. The lower part shows a map view of the region. WG=wind gap. Red arrows: direction of lateral fold growth; Wind gap elevation decreases along lateral fold growth direction and curvatures of wind gaps convex towards lateral fold growth direction.
The Renton Formation is a geologic formation in Washington (state) within the Puget Group. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleogene period . Most of the formation consists of fine- to medium-grained arkosic and feldspathic sandstone, interbedded with lesser amounts of siltstone, sandy shale, coal, and carbonaceous shale.
A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).
Mid-ocean ridge cross-section (cut-away view) A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is a seafloor mountain system formed by plate tectonics.It typically has a depth of about 2,600 meters (8,500 ft) and rises about 2,000 meters (6,600 ft) above the deepest portion of an ocean basin.
