Isopach Maps represent differing areas of thickness over a given area. This is incredibly useful for studying stratigraphy and sedimentology. The map of mineral coal shows a color shaded map of subsurface thickness. This is an incredibly useful application when searching mining areas. The thickness of rocks correlate to their orthogenesis and composure. In the red shaded areas, thick subsurface geology occupies this area.
