Isopach

http://seeps.geol.ucsb.edu/pages/isopach.html

 Isopach maps illustrate a variation in thickness of a particular area or object. The example I chose shows the amount of sediment on the ocean floor. The increasing colors of pink show that the amount of sediment is increasing where those readings are taking place. This is useful if you were looking for particular types of sediment and large amounts of it.
