This
website
contains
geologic
maps
of
Kentucky,
with
a
discussion
of
geologic
time
in
regards
to
the
rocks,
minerals,
fossils,
and
economic
deposits
found
there.
There
are
also
sections
that
describe
strata
and
geologic
structures
beneath
the
surface
(faults,
basins,
and
arches),
the
structural
processes
(folding
and
faulting)
that
create
stratigraphic
units,
the
geomorphology
of
the
state,

This
activity
will
help
students
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
basic
principles
used
to
determine
the
age
of
rocks
and
fossils.
It
consists
of
several
parts:
to
have
students
determine
relative
age
of
a
geologically
complex
area,
to
familiarize
students
with
the
concept
of
half-life
in
radioactive
decay,
to
have
students
see
that
individual
runs
of
statistical
processes
are
less
predictable

In
this
exercise
from
SERC's
Starting
Point,
students
measure
a
topographic
and
geologic
cross-section
across
a
floodplain
by
simple
surveying
and
auguring
techniques.
This
example
demonstrates
how
basic
GIS
elements
can
enhance
learning
by
adding
spatial
context
and
introducing
mapping
techniques.
GIS
elements
encourage
students
to
consider
the
spatial
context
of
field
observations,
introduce
GPS
