Interpreting topography and structures from geological maps is a fundamental and compulsory exercise for Bachelors and Masters students in geosciences. This book presents how to interpret maps and draw their cross-section s. Stvdents are requested to consult standard textbooks of structural geology for definitions and diagrams for the common terms used in this book. A number of solved maps a.re provided along with few unsolved exercises for practice. This will help students to practice map interpretation with nominal guidance.
Starting from preliminary concepts (e.g., topography, horizontal, and inclined beds), maps with single
''components" (folds, faults, and unconformities) are explained. This is followed by maps with multiple com- ponents and map completion exercises. We believe the book provides sufficient information for a single semester to teach beginners. We welcome any comments, suggestions, or alternate explanations for the solved maps at: narayan.bghs@gmail.com and soumyajitm@gmail. com.
