Presentation of geological date in Geographic information systems

Abstract

The thematic maps, spatial models and 3D simulations are the frequent form of presentation of geological data in GIS. Thematic maps and spatial models should represent quantitative and qualitative dates from a terrain measurement and laboratory study in an appropriate form. Point, line and shape marks use for presentation of qualitative dates in a practice.On the creation of thematic maps, various models and computer simulations work together. Team of researchers and engineers of different special oriented (geologist, land surveyors, builder, ecology, programmer) work together on the creation of thematics maps, various models and computer simulation. It is important, that all the methodical directions and principles were observed by the creation of GIS because accrued GIS can be in the practice not use.
