Title: What is the global distribution of soil, rock and vegetation?
Post by: Hannah LS on 27/11/2018 09:31:19

Ali asks:

I am looking for a complete geological map of the world and I can't find a complete map to show soil, rock and vegetation in detail. Do you know of a good source of geological maps?

Can you help?

Not sure what you are looking for? Do you want a map that shows vegetation and soils? rock outcrops?
A geological map shows the different types of rocks and geological structures at the earth's surface- so will not show soil and vegetation. I think UNESCO has some interesting maps showing soils and vegetation.
