Shows geologists collecting data to make a geological map and the subsequent laboratory work required to identify the structure and composition of the samples collected. Once the information is compiled, the map can be drawn and ideas about the geological history of the area can be formed. Narrated by Sydney Conabere and photographed by Don Whitehurst. Suitable for upper secondary level.
