Title: Exaggeration of Vertical Scale of Geologic Sections

Author(s): H. H. Suter (2)

Abstract:

Attention is drawn to the fact that many petroleum geologic sections are constructed with exaggerated vertical scale. The distortional effects of this exaggeration are discussed in detail and a plea is made to replace exaggerated sections by true sections. Finally, alternative solutions for the construction of sections through areas of flat geology and/or large basins are suggested, namely, the coupling of a true geologic section with a stratigraphic section.
