Here's the solution to the question based on the provided geological map.

a) Draw a geological cross section (A-B) using the profile provided:
To draw the geological cross-section along line A-B:

  1. Transfer the contact points of the geological units (d², d', c, b, a) from the map onto the provided topographic profile A-B.

  2. From each contact point on the profile, project the geological layers downwards according to their dip angles and directions.

    Along the line A-B, all units dip towards the west/southwest (to the left on the profile). The dip angles are approximately 20° for d², 37° for d', 40° for c, 5
