Isopach

 

This an Isopach map that shows the thickness of the Earth's crust.  Isopach maps represent rock or sediment thickness with the use of contour lines.  The lines in this map show equal thickness expressed in kilometers and a contour interval of 10 km which means that each line that increases in thickness increases in increments of 10 km.
