Creating a cross-section requires some subjective decisions on your part, but it needs to be geologically reasonable. For
example, the thickness and dip of a planar layer should remain relatively constant unless the map data requires
otherwise. Planar layers should also be laterally continuous unless there is evidence otherwise. Similarly, keep the
structure as simple as you can.
Steps to producing a cross section:
I.
Choose the location and direction of the profile on the geological map (usually a straight line)
II.
Draw or plot the topography of the profile on the cross-section
III.
Add the geological features from the…
