| Miêu tả: | The geological map is a model of reality, in which the geological units are grouped by a classification that follows international standards. The first geological maps of Costa Rica were made in the late XIX century and early XX century. The geological map is not an end in itself, but a tool for understanding the geological history of a region and the processes of erosion and weathering that have affected existing rocks. There are four basic types of geological maps: geological reconnaissance maps, regional geological maps, detailed geological maps, and specialized maps. Regional maps are some of the most important because their scale, 1:50 000 or 1: 25 000, is suitable for use as a basis for various academic and economic studies as well as for planning purposes.The Central American Journal of Geology has contributed to the distribution and publication of geological maps, with a total coverage of 8638 km2, corresponding to 17% of the national territory. In the future, the magazine is fully prepared to continue the dissemination of cartographic information |
