Soil Explorer vs Geology Toolkit

Explore detailed maps of soil properties and landscapes for various U.S. states, as well as small-scale maps of soil distributions for the world. Examine the details for a specific area, but also see the overview for a large area. Learn how features shown on the maps correspond to what you observe in the field. Soil Explorer utilizes detailed soil survey data from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and data and maps from the U. S. Geological Survey and other sources to produce informative, highly engaging maps. These maps are designed to show the complex interrelationships between soil properties and the landscapes in which soils occur.

Geology Toolkit uses AI to identify rocks and minerals, explain formations and create labelled pencil sketches all from a photo, then tells you the story behind them - how they formed, what they're made of and what else you might find nearby. Also includes geological information like Mohs hardness, luster, chemical formula and much more. Whether you're a curious walker who picked up something interesting, a rockhound building your collection, a student preparing for fieldwork, or a professional working in the field, Geology Toolkit gives you a considered field guide in your pocket. What you can do • Identify rocks, minerals, crystals, gems, and pebbles from photos • Read the full formation story - how each specimen formed, over what timescale, in what conditions • Discover companion minerals commonly found alongside your finds • Save specimens to your personal field guide with sketches, notes, and location • Get confidence scores and alternative identifications for tricky specimens Built for serious curiosity • Rockhounds and collectors building a field guide of finds • Geology and earth science students studying mineralogy, petrology, and classification • Field professionals needing quick, reliable identification and reference • Educators and parents exploring geology with curious learners • Anyone who's ever picked up a stone and wondered what it was Why Geology Toolkit Most rock identifier apps stop at a name. Geology Toolkit goes further - explaining why a rock is what it is, how it formed, and what to look for in the field. Every identification adds to your personal field guide, building a reference you'll return to.
