18. Geologic Terms and Geographic Divisions

Geologic termsFor capitalization, compounding, and use of quotations in geologic terms, copy is to be followed. Geologic terms quoted verbatim from published ma-terial should be left as the original author used them; however, it should be made clear that the usage is that of the original author.Formal geologic terms are capitalized: Proterozoic Eon, Cambrian Period. Structural terms such as arch, anticline, or uplift are capitalized when pre-ceded by a name: Cincinnati Arch, Cedar Creek Anticline, Ozark Uplift . See Chapter 4 geographic terms for more information.

Physiographic regionsPhysiographic regions are based on terrain texture, rock type, and geologic structure and history. Th e classifi cation system has three tiers: divisions, which are broken into provinces, and some provinces break further into sec-tions. All names are capitalized, not the class; for graphic see http://tapestry.usgs.gov/physiogr/physio.html.
