Answer 1

Faults on a map are shown with dark, thick lines.

Answer 2

Faults on a map are shown with dark, thick lines. Maps that show the different man-made and natural features of the Earth's surface are called topographic maps. The lines representing faults differ in thickness and darkness depending on the properties of the fault. Because of this, it is easier for people to identify fault lines within their area.
