maps on a continental scale. These may be used to assemble such maps as the basement structure and the derived structure of the Mohorovicic surface itself, including a fault-block mosaic of the continent. The relations shown help establish contour control for additional maps showing such measurements as age of basement rocks, hydrodynamics, and heat flow. A knowledge of such "deep" maps assists in the construction of paleogeographic maps. It is the thesis of this paper that the factors establishing these maps play a fundamental part in the accumulation of oil and gas and the survival of trap areas.
