About This Item
TS ISO 710-4 is the standard for the graphical representation of metamorphic rocks on detailed geological maps, plans, and geological cross-sections. It forms the metamorphic-rock part of a broader family of graphic-symbol standards used to present geological information through consistent visual notation as well as text.
A visual language for metamorphic-rock mapping
Metamorphic rocks are formed when pre-existing rocks are altered by heat, pressure, and often fluids. In mapping and section work, it is not enough to name the rock unit; characteristic features such as foliation, schistosity, banding, and related textural expression often need to be shown clearly. This standard provides a series of symbols and ornaments intended for that purpose, helping geologists present metamorphic units in a consistent visual language.
Why the distinction matters in maps and cross-sections
The standard is aimed at detailed, especially large-scale, mapping where the spatial distribution of rock units, contact relations, and structural features must be read accurately. In general geological cartography, standardized symbols improve legibility and reduce ambiguity when the same terrain is represented in different maps or sections. That consistency is especially valuable when the same metamorphic features must be interpreted across field maps, compiled plans, and cross-sectional drawings.
