Summary

South America is part of Region 6 (Central and South America) for the World Energy Assessment. The geologic map of South America was digitized so that we could use the geology as a general guide to draw the boundaries of the geologic provinces of South America.

Purpose

The purpose of digitizing the geologic map was to allow us to have a geologic base on which we drew the boundaries of the geologic provinces of South America. The geologic map was used as a guide for placing province boundaries rather than as a location map for very specific geologic entities.
