    Abstract:

    Quaternary geology and geomorphology map is one of the series of maps in the second edition of the National Regional Geology Annals, with special attention paid to the close integration with ecological environment and geological disasters. The map includes such important geological contents as Quaternary geological epoch, genetic type, combination type of lithology and geomorphology genesis, active faults and transgression range with the attachment of the typical profiles of Quaternary geologygeomorphology and important landscape attractions. The map has the following characteristics: (1) Digital elevation model (DEM) grayscale image is for the first time used as background for the geographic base map. (2) Quaternary geology features and geomorphologic genetic types are compiled on the same map. (3) The colors of Quaternary geological bodies are indicated by the colors of genetic types. (4) Geomorphologic part is divided into different levels of morphological types and geneses of distinctive micro-topography attractions. In short, the map is a brand new one with three-dimensional drawing, obvious terrain elevation, fine arrangement, bright color, and availability for disaster prevention and control and geological tourism applications.
