1. CHEE1009 Introductory Geology
Answer:
The Geological Survey of Matlock shows a residential town of Derbyshire, representation of
a suitable environment for human settlement. The map uses a scale of 1:25,000 and it
shows the Matlock map. Being that the route shows a town with potential of human
settlement, it should have adequate and sufficient infrastructural architecture, especially
proper drainage system. However, the map of the area shows the existence of some water
bodies thus making drainage systems in this region requires some specialized design and
planning concepts to ensure that the drainage system does not contaminate the available
water bodies. Therefore, for the drainage systems deployed in this area not to pollute or
contaminate the water bodies it must have the following properties
The drainage system must be leakage proof, this to ensure that there are no spills either on
the ground or spill to existing water bodies.
It should transfer the effluents and waste water efficiently without pipe blockage or any
other obstruction to the flow of waste water
The drainage system should be designed to discharge the effluents to the ground table or
dunkyard
The established drainage system should not discharge directly or indirectly to the water
table below the surface because the existing water bodies source their waters from the
water table below the surface.
The presence of cracks on the ground in the selected region is clearly indication of
instability of the areas and this could be as a result of geothermal, shock or earthquake due
to volcano on the areas causing faults that are signified by the cracks on the ground surface.
Therefore, as a result of these vibrations potentials and cracks on the ground, the site is
instable. Due to the instability of the ground, the cracks easily propagate down to the earth’s
crust thus making it more unstable.
The region of Matlock, UK, the region near the water bodies and stream lines has some
indication of prolonged land contamination which seems concentrated. Some of the possible
contaminants on the area could be solid waste, plastics, sewerage effluent, silt, soil erosion,
soil erosion and radioactive contaminants. These can escalate to potential of the
contamination of the water mass and land mass near the targeted site.
The type of fold is a new road/highway under construction in the line 250570 - 320570. At
2. this location of the map, geological reasons may obstruct the road construction considering
the patterns of the rocks of this place
The trend of the fold axial plane shows geological rocks that are mainly sedimentary with
limestone as major surface rocks. This gets disintegrated gradually over certain period of
time. For example, layer of benthic in Hauraki Gulf is a and indication of the impact of
geology on natural ecosystems (International Conference on Water and Environment & WE-
2003. (2013
The areas of maximum radon risk within grid square 300570 are in the line 250570 -
320570 which is the SW corner grid reference for the rocks that have been exposed due to
industrialization and mining processes. Therefore, it shows the effect of geology on natural
environment and it is geologized site in the Gulf
The estimated metres for the base of the Ashover Grit is displaced vertically by the fault at
323600 is 450 meters. The type of fault expected is a vertical flautline cutting acrossteh grid
reference. The side that is downthrown is the left side of the grid reference with too many
railway building sites and the tracks that have the potential of causing deformation to the
lithosphere. As areult, numerous unrest have been reported in respect to the pathways
constructed in this location
Pb on Middleton Moor (250555). 10% galena and 6% sphalerite by volume Extracts100000
tonnes 15-year period: tonnes of lead will the mine produce in a year = 100000 tonnes/15
years = 666.667 tones
Final depth = Moor (250555) * 0.15* 0.06= 2254.995
The quality of the underlying strata as a barrier to the migration of landfill leachate creates
an imperfect drainage pattern that hinders the construction of roads due to the geology of
the area. However, the pattern may be curbed to construct a new path. In addition, site
region and the upper layer of lithosphere is encompassed of many unconformities that
hinder effective geological process.
Checking at the 'Change Style' options provided on the layer, it’s evident that the incident of
geology has been on the rise for quite a long time but little has been done to contain the fats
rising case of geology in Matlock map. This is clearly illustrated by the data in the attribute
table which depict the benthic health and state of geology in Matlock map (Jillett, 2015). The
map below illustrates how Matlock map has suffered devastating effects of adverse impacts
of geology, leading to the changes in its ecological activities and biological diversity. It
shows the extent to which the geology has had an adverse impact on the natural ecosystem
of the area. The map of Matlock map showing the problem through ArcGIS data (Cornelius &
Island Care New Zealand Trust, 2014)
