Isopach

An Isopach map is a map that illustrates the variation of thickness of the rock and soils. This map was used when a person was contructing a well in Venezuela and the isopaches are displayed as red dashes. These types of maps display important information about a given area when drilling or digging out certain land. Also many marine biologist use these maps when studying the tectonic plates under the ocean floor.
