Features and Usage
ROCKD features a host of services for Geologists and those curious about the bedrock and parent material or other features in your area and around the world. The main feature being a global map of bedrock layers and strike/slip faults. Any area on the map can be clicked on to open a window that lists the coordinates involved, the name, age, and type of rock or strike/slip fault, and a reference link to their data source. It additionally allows for users to add their own observations on rock formations, to tag and save features, to measure and record strike/slip fault data, and a searchable database. The app can be used without an account, but not edited.
