Task
3. Review a geologic map, one you have to obtain
Required Often forgotten
Of your area, or an area your counselor approves. Identify sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous rocks and their estimated ages, and say whether the map shows horizontal, folded, faulted or intrusive rocks, and how you concluded that. Getting hold of the map is a step in itself.
Notes and warnings
Note. The geologic map is a thing to obtain, not just a thing to read. State geological surveys publish them and most are free, but start looking before the session where you plan to discuss it.
