Help Drawing a Quaternary Deposits' Profile in Uppland, Sweden

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a Quaternary deposits profile in Uppland, Sweden, emphasizing the need to interpret 2D map data in a 3D context. Participants share strategies for accurately drawing the profile, suggesting starting with bedrock topography and layering deposits chronologically while exaggerating elevation to fit all accumulations. There are challenges in determining the correct connections between different deposits based on contour lines and surface data. Users express confusion about interpreting contour heights and how to represent landscape features accurately. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding stratigraphy and the geological history of the area to complete the assignment effectively.

I can’t see Any? I am sorry I’m really bad at this! Its a onlinevourse I’m taking that I just need to pass to keep my spot at another
You can't see the image in post #29?

This is strange... your post is identical to post #24 of nearly a week ago, down to the typos.

That is so strange, I did not write that now haha? What I wanted to say is that I still don’t know how to draw the curve according to the task

Draw an xy grid just like the one in the graph in post #29.
Measure along the AB line in the map you were given to the places where it crosses the contour lines.
Find the corresponding points along the x-axis in your graph, and along the AB line in the graph
In post #29. You should find that the heights in post #29 are close to multiples of 5m. If so, mark at that height on the graph you are making. Where possible, check that the height matches that in the map you were given.

Thread closed. The OP has been given a lot of good suggestions, but has failed to act on them.
