#Geologic cross section example software

A topographical map provides an aerial (overhead) view of a landscape. Relief or slope variation of the study area can also be viewed. Specific boundary conditions to represent the movement of rock block over the fault can be displayed using the graphical user interface. It offers much easy to use functionality to facilitate the completion of desired tasks. By using 'Vigat 2005', a cross section graphic can be displayed by the user with a simple click of the mouse. Geological cross sections allow a better conceptualization of the 3-D geometry of the structures. They are planar, usually vertical, graphical representations of earth sections showing stratigraphical successions, age, structure, and rock types present in the subsurface. Geological cross sections are very powerful means of conveying structural geometries.

In geological context, profile or cross section is an exposure of the ground showing depositional strata. Its main purpose is to provide cross section views of geoscientific features and to interpret their variation within the area of study.

This work presents the construction of cross sections with the help of 'Vigat 2005' - a Visual C ++ based software application. A cross-section is a window into the subsurface. Accepted for publication June 20 2007.Д¬ross-section can be described as a two dimensional dataset where the horizontal distances are represented on the x-axis and the depth on the y-axis.
