Isopach

Isopach are maps that have lines that connect areas of equal rock or sediment thickness. This map shows the Purbeck Limestone formation of Southern England and the English Channel.  As with all Isoline maps, distribution and concentration is apparent, with the thickest formation in the Weald basin (shown on the "hill" of the map).
