The document discusses geological maps and how to read them. It explains that geological maps show rock formations and structures like folds and faults. Topographic maps use contour lines to represent elevation and terrain. Contour maps translate the three-dimensional surface of the earth into two dimensions. Reading geological maps provides insight into the geological structures and history of an area.
