    The Geological Map of Myanmar

    Understanding the Geology is


    essential for groundwater and data
    management

    ◼ Sedimentary Rocks
    • sandstone, shale, limestone, conglomerate
    ◼ Glaciated Terrain
    • large valleys and basins were carved out
    • sediments (sands, clays) were left behind
    ◼ Alluvial Valleys and Fans
    • along rivers and streams
    ◼ Tectonic Formations
    • solid rock is fractured by pressures due to earth’s movement
