Review of Mapping Techniques for Geologic Mapping, Ore Estimation and Modelling

Explain in DETAIL (include figures) how the following are done. (100 pts)

1) How to make a cross section using a topographic map (10 pts, no illustration: -10 pts)

2) Outcrop patterns on a topographic map for:(10 pts each)

- Horizontal planes (beds, faults)

- Vertical planes

- Tilted planes

* this is not the rule of V’s

** show step by step solutions and illustrations (noncompliance: -30 pts)

3) Area estimation for irregular solids. (10 pts)

4) How to acquire the volume of a tilted layer (or bed) confined in a box. (10 pts, no figure -10 pts)

5) Strike and dip of a plane using 3 points (3 point problem). 10 pts (no illustration: -10 pts)

6) Parts of a Brunton Compass. (10 pts)

7) Strike and dip of a plane using a Brunton compass. (10 pts)

Reminders

Incomplete submissions can only get a maximum grade of 30/100

must be HANDWRITTEN (typewritten submissions will get an automatic grade of zero (0/100)

all figures must be hand drawn or sketched except for topo maps and brunton compasses (all

other markings such as construction lines or planes must be sketched. (noncompliance = 0/100)
