s geologic map of north america compiled by john c reed jr john o wheeler and brian e tucholke the new geologic map of north america covers ~15 of earth s surface and differs from previous maps in several important respects it is the first such map to depict the geology of the seafloor the first compiled since the general acceptance of plate-tectonic theory and the first since radiometric dates for plutonic and volcanic rocks became widely available it also reflects enormous advances in conventional geologic mapping advances that have led to a significant increase in the complexity of the map the new map printed in 11 colors distinguishes more than 900 rock units 110 of which are offshore it depicts more than seven times the number of on-land units as are shown on its immediate predecessor as well as many more faults and additional features such as volcanoes calderas impact structures small bodies of unusual igneous rocks and diapirs when displayed at earth science institutions and li
