This
map shows the thickness and distribution of the Quaternary stratigraphic
units in Greater Victoria. It is intended to provide the geological basis
for the assessment of the earthquake hazards shown on companion maps which
depict the liquefaction and amplification of ground motion in Greater
Victoria (Geoscience Maps 2000-3a and 2000-3b; Monahan et al.,
2000b and c). The geological units shown here are defined in part to
reflect these hazards.
