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.
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]
A simplified map of the geological structures of Indonesia. The tectonics of Indonesia are very complex, as it is a meeting point of several tectonic plates.Indonesia is located between two continental plates: the Sahul Shelf and the Sunda Plate; and between two oceanic plates: the Pacific Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.
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]
Isopach map showing true stratigraphic thickness of Holocene sediments deposited offshore of Pacifica, California. An isopach map (/ ˈ aɪ s oʊ p æ k /) illustrates thickness variations within a tabular unit, layer or stratum.
Slice of the Bandung meteorite; the majority of the 11.5 kg TKW is held by the Bandung Geological Museum and the Paris Museum of History. This partial slice weighs 2.43 grams and shows a brecciated matrix
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).
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.
