A map showing the distribution of rock units and structures across a region representation, usually on a plane surface is termed a geological map. A map showing the occurrence of structural features across a region, the distribution of rock units, and their type and age relationship is termed a geological map.

A major geological GIS project: the 1:5 Million International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas (IGME 5000) is being managed and implemented by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The aims of the project are to develop for the whole of Europe a GIS underpinned by a geological database, a printed map depicting up-to-date and consistent geological informat...

The surface area of Venus ( 460 10 km) is 90% of that of the Earth. Using Magellan radar image and altimetry data, supplemented by Venera-15/16 radar images, we compiled a global geologic map of Venus at a scale of 1:10 M. We outline the history of geological mapping of the Earth and planets to illustrate the importance of utilizing the dual stratigraphic classification approach to geological m...
