Help Drawing a Quaternary Deposits' Profile in Uppland, Sweden

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on the process of drawing a Quaternary deposits profile in Uppland, Sweden, emphasizing the importance of interpreting 2D maps in a 3D context. Participants discuss how to accurately represent various Quaternary deposits along a specified profile from point A to B, utilizing contour lines and stratigraphy. Key steps include starting with bedrock topography, using color codes for deposits, and understanding the chronological order of accumulations. The conversation highlights the challenges of determining the correct shape and length of the profile based on surface data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quaternary geology and stratigraphy
  • Familiarity with contour mapping techniques
  • Knowledge of geological time scales and sedimentary processes
  • Ability to interpret 2D maps in a 3D context
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of stratigraphic correlation in geology
  • Study the methods for interpreting geological maps and profiles
  • Learn about the specific Quaternary deposits found in Sweden, including glacial and postglacial sediments
  • Explore tools for creating geological cross-sections, such as GIS software
USEFUL FOR

Geologists, geography students, and environmental scientists interested in Quaternary geology and sedimentary processes, particularly those focusing on mapping and interpreting geological features in Sweden.

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.
