Comparison between the old (left) and new (right) 1:200,000 Seamless Geological Maps of Japan
🗾Complete Revision of the Web-Based Geological Map of Japan
Points
- The old 1:200,000 Seamless Geological Map of Japan has been reviewed for all regions of Japan and recompiled based on the latest knowledge.
- The number of new legends which reflect research developments over the past quarter-century has been increased from the previous number of 386 to more than 2400.
- Because the legend has been structured hierarchically, it is possible to display the map flexibly depending on purposes or uses
