Well Correlation is one of the basic ways that geologist interpret well data. Knowing what layers of rock are connected helps with the understanding of ground water flow, mining, oil and gas development, CO2 storage, and geothermal prospecting.

If we can look at an outcrop, it is much easier to trace out how one layer of rock is correlated across the face. Most of the information is there to be seen. Photo-interpretation-of-the-Canyon-Creek-outcrops-in-Pipeline-Canyon-Moderate-channel.png
