A

The geological outcrops are shown in the north-west corner of the map. The beds are horizontal (0° dip) because the geological contacts coincide with, or are parallel to, the topographic contour lines.Using this information:1) Complete the geological outcrops across the whole of the map area.2) Draw a geological cross section at a 1:1 scale from A to B (note that contours are in meters).3) Calculate the thickness of each bed and draw a vertical stratigraphic column showing each bed to scale at 10mm = 100m (assume the Law of Superposition).
