Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1E
To determine
To determine the clues that suggest a cold front will pass Oklahoma City from the given forecast data.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1E
A fall in temperature associated with change in the direction of wind from south to northwest from Tuesday night to Wednesday and high speed of wind suggest a cold front will pass Oklahoma City.
Explanation of Solution
Forecasting in climatology is divination of the atmospheric or weather conditions for a particular place and time by applying science and technology.
Generally, the cold front is associated with a fall in atmospheric dew point temperature, and change in direction of winds. The forecast data tells that on Tuesday (March
On Wednesday (March
The clues such as fall in temperature, cloud cover pattern, and changes in direction and speed of the wind suggest a cold front will pass Oklahoma City.

The company you work for has been hired to perform geological mapping and mineral potential assessment in a third-party area. During your fieldwork, you discovered a shear zone (SZ) with a general attitude of 0°/90°, approximately 1 km long and 2 m wide, which occurs over very weathered rocks with a schist appearance and contains quartz veins and veinlets with boxworks showing Fe oxides (see figure). The chemical analyses of the samples you collected gave interesting values of 6 to 14 ppm of Au. Your boss, very free, asked you to prepare a quote for the execution of an exploratory drilling hole for two different orientation conditions (60° and 70°) in order to investigate: the continuity of the mineralization at depth, what the host is and whether there is also mineralization on both sides. For this, your boss will tell you that the hole should intercept a ZC 100 meters below the surface, where the rock will certainly be fresh, and that the entire hole should be chemically applied.…
in the block diagram above there are 16 events to put in order of their occurrence. There areno letters to designate the folding and unconformity events but there are blanks for thoseevents. You will see numbered blanks 1-16. Starting with the oldest event at number 16,work your way up to the youngest event at No. 1.
