1. Introduction

INTRODUCTION Geological map is one which shows in the first place, the occurrence and distribution of the rocks at the surface of the ground. Conventional sign may show certain facts of observation about them. The geological map allows the geological structure of the country to be inferred. Beds of rocks are bounded by bedding surfaces, which may be horizontal, tilted or bent in any form or direction. A series of beds which have been laid down regularly one on the other, and which may be treated as a whole, form a conformable series. It follows that the lower beds are the older. In such a series of bedding surfaces are parallel. Each bedding surface is usually common to two beds of rock, being the top of one and the bottom of the one next above. In the simplest case, these surfaces are planes: bedding planes. Just as it is possible to define the topography of the ground by means of contour lines, therefore we can draw contour lines on a bedding plane

2. Objectives & Learning Outcomes

OBJECTIVE(S) To lot the contour and determine the dip and strike of the rock strata.

LEARNING OUTCOME At the end of the laboratory activities, we are able to: i. ii. iii.

Plot the contour from the given geological map. Determine the dip and strike of the rock strata Work in a group to produce technical report.

3. Procedure / Equipment / Methodology / Theory

APPARATUS i. ii. iii. iv. v.

Geological Map 2 Graph Paper/ Drawing Paper Ruler Pencils Color Pencils

PROCEDURE i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi.

The cross-section is plot with the horizontal and vertical scales accordingly to the scale of the geological map on a piece of graph paper or blank sheet. The vertical scale is normally exaggerated to improve visibility of the profile. A line to join the line of cross-section on the map, says X – Y is drawn. The points of intersection is mark accordingly between the lines with the contours respective to its heights using a blank piece of paper. The points is transfer to the cross-section profile respective to the heights of the contours. The points is joined to form the profile of the ground elevation.

4. Results & Discussion

Graph

DISCUSSION   

Strike and dip are one of the methods that are used to visualized geological feature of Map 2. Using horizontal plane, we can determine the intersection of bedding using strike and dip method. Different type of intersection of bedding will be represented by different color of lines so we can see the possible outcome from the method

5. Conclusion

CONCLUSION In this lab experiment, we have learned that the strike and dip method are used to visualized the bedding of Map 2. Determining the bedding using the horizontal plane of the map will reveal specific information of the ground and those information helps in finding suitable ground for minor or major construction sites. It is especially crucial for structural building project where stable grounds are needed
