Cross Section Geology

They may also be vital in understanding the timing of deformation by showing the drape of sediment over developing folds or the thickening of the section across growth faults the following elements of cross section design are presented as if they were a sequence.

Cross section geology. The resulting cross section is a cutaway image much like those seen in canyon walls or road cuts. Creating and evaluating cross section is a very important aspect of the geoscience profession. Geologic cross sections can assess temporal models of rock formation through time.

The stratigraphy cross sections module is designed for easy creation of geological cross sections including lenses faults. Geology is a very visual science and the use of a variety of map types is common.

For geological data reporting from site investigation results use stratigraphy logs module. It provides scaled outputs of the cross section with field tests and soil profiles. A geological cross section is a graphic representation of the intersection of the geological bodies in the subsurface with a vertical plane of a certain orientation.

Any location along the 100 foot line is 100 feet above. It is a section of the terrain where the different types of rocks their constitution and internal structure and the geometric relationship between them are represented. No cad program is needed.

Topographic cross sectional and structural. A cross section will give us an idea of how the terrain looks from a side view. After that select your dem as a source of the profile.

First you need to define topographic sources. Let s first look at a topographical map of armadillo ridge. Draw a cross section line on your map you can also import it as shapefile in place where you would like to model the geology.
