What is cross-section in geological map?

On the basis of the reading knowledge of a geological map, we select the section line of the map and steep forward to drawing of the cross-section. The cross-section of a geological map exposed all inner formations of rock beds. It also helps us to interpret the total geology of the map.
 

How do you find the cross-section in geography?

Cross sections are line graphs that show a sideways view of a landscape.



When interpreting cross sections, you should include:

1. the highest and lowest points.
2. a comparison of different areas e.g. river bank compared to river bed or hillside compared to valley.
3. any anomalies i.e. things that you would not expect to see.
