1.0 OBJECTIVE
To plot ground profile and rock formations from geological map – inclined beddings.
3.0 THEORY
A geological map is one, which shows in the first place, the occurrence and distribution of the rocks at the
surface of the ground. Conventional sign may show certain facts of observation about them. The geological
map allows the geological structure of the country to be inferred.
Beds of rocks are bounded by bedding surfaces, which may be horizontal, tilted or bent in any form or direction.
A series of beds which have been laid down regularly one on the other, and which may be treated as a whole,
form a conformable series. It follows that the lower beds are the older. In such a series of bedding surfaces are
parallel. Each bedding surface is usually common to two beds of rock, being the top of one and the bottom of
the one next above. In the simplest case, these surfaces are planes: bedding planes.

5.0 PROCEDURE
5.1 Plot the cross-section with the horizontal and vertical scales accordingly to the scale of the geological
map on a piece of graph paper or blank sheet. Refer Figure 1.1. The vertical scale is normally
exaggerated to improve visibility of the profile.
5.2 Draw a line to join the line of cross-section on the map, says A - B.
5.3 Using a blank piece of paper, mark the points of intersection accordingly between the lines with the
contours respective to its heights.
5.4 Transfer the points to the cross-section profile respective to the heights of the contours.
5.5 Join the points to form the profile of the ground elevation.
8.0 CONCLUSION
