A tectonic map is a representation of structural elements related to the tectonic history of the upper crust of a planetary body. The different structural areas and their separate elements such as faults and folds are shown by various symbols; when combined with a geologic map, data regarding the age and type of rocks comprising the structural elements are given, along with their development over time.
