Each province has a set of geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Offshore province boundaries are defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour.   Purpose: To delineate geologic province boundaries in Open File Report 97-470F Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields of the Asia Pacific Region; Plate 3: Australia and New Zealand, which is being compiled as a small scale geologic reference for the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. This coverage is used to produce a map and an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document of the map, published on CD-ROM. An Arcview shapefile derived from this coverage is used in an Arcview project and an ArcExplorer project.   Product Type: Downloadable GIS Data   Information Access & Use Accessible Online At: http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/oilgas/wep/   Access Contraints: None   Use Contraints: None   Citation & Contact Information USGS Publication Number and Series:   U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report OFR-97-470-F (Larger Work)   Contact Person: Peter J.
