The 19 pages that link to Geological mapping, each with the reason it gives.

• Mineral explorationRelated: Maps reveal structures and rock units that may control mineralization.

• William SmithRelated: Smith combined field observations, fossil evidence, and boundaries to map rock units across a region.

• GneissRelated: Gneiss outcrops help map ancient metamorphic basement and its structural history.

• ProtolithRelated: Recognizing protoliths helps map the original rocks beneath metamorphic overprinting.

• Field geologyRelated: It organizes observations from separate outcrops into a coherent spatial account.

• PetrologyRelated: Rock identification and interpretation establish the units and histories shown on geological maps.

• QuarryingRelated: Mapping helps locate usable deposits and anticipate variation within a quarry.

• Earth's crustRelated: Maps reveal the distribution and structure of crustal rocks.

• GeoconservationRelated: Maps locate significant exposures and inform decisions about land use and protection.

• Nikolay UrvantsevRelated: His surveys documented the geology of remote northern territories alongside their geography.

• Median Tectonic LineRelated: Mapping the line’s offset belts helps reconstruct its history and locate active traces.

• Archibald GeikieRelated: Survey work under Geikie relied on mapping to turn field observations into usable records.

• BoudinageRelated: Boudin orientation and distribution help map local deformation patterns.

• Exploration geophysicsCompared with: Surface observations constrain interpretations that geophysical measurements alone cannot uniquely resolve.

• GeologistRelated: Maps organize field observations into spatial accounts of Earth’s geology.

• Plane tableRelated: Geologists can plot outcrops and structural observations directly onto a field map.

• Near-surface geophysicsCompared with: Mapping characterizes visible geology, while geophysics investigates concealed features.

• Paweł StrzeleckiRelated: His surveys linked field observations with geographical description.

• William MaclureNarrower topic: Maclure’s work used mapping to turn field observations into a view of geology across the country.
