The mountains, valleys, waterfalls, rivers, and dunes, islands and cliffs you see are produced by erosion. Bedrock, soil and sand are sculpted by water, ice and wind over thousands or millions of years to present us with breathtaking vistas throughout the state. Mountains, cliffs and highlands are formed of hard rocks where erosion removes softer surrounding rocks and sediments. Gorges, valley and caves are the result of water grinding or dissolving away softer types of bedrock and sediments.

home news releases employment city facilities ... rocknet Mapping and Geographic Information System: A Bird's Eye View to Our City What is a GIS? A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool that combines the visual appeal of conventional maps with database operations and statistical analysis. It is used for mapping and analyzing things that exist and happen on the surface of the Earth by classifying the information into "layers", making it easy for users to distinguish each element separately. The speed and accuracy of a GIS provide an invaluable service to organizations, such as the City of Rockville, by explaining events, predicting outcomes and planning future strategies. What's a GIS layer? A layer is a collection of specific elements, such as trees, roads, buildings that can be viewed together with other layers for a complete overview of the area, or separately to give a more specific indication of the presence of that particular element. GIS stores information about the world as a collection of layers that are linked together by geography. As these layers combine with each other, a picture of the real world emerges. This simple but extremely versatile concept is invaluable for solving many real-world problems such as the tracking navigation, managing governmental services, as well as modeling global atmospheric circulation.
