This document provides instructions for a 100 point assignment on mapping techniques, including making a cross section from a topographic map, drawing outcrop patterns of horizontal, vertical, and tilted planes on a topo map, estimating the area of an irregular solid, calculating the volume of a tilted layer confined in a box, determining the strike and dip of a plane using three points, identifying parts of a Brunton compass, and finding the strike and dip of a plane with a Brunton compass. The instructions emphasize that submissions must be handwritten, include illustrations, and show step-by-step work to receive full credit. Incomplete or typewritten submissions will receive few points.

1. 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)
