Isopach

This isopach map shows the thickness of the Tioga Bentonite over the mid-Atlantic region. Isopach maps are known to depict the thickness of a particular stratum with contour lines. The Tioga Bentonite was originally deposited as volcanic ash during a large volcanic eruption millions of years ago. The deposits of Tioga ash are thickest in the southwest region.
