Answer to Problem 2.1CTDQ

Scientific issues are influenced by politics as government funds; global warming and pollution problems are the major topic for discussion. Science is affected by politics, but it is not merely politics. However, it indirectly works for political purposes.

Explanation of Solution

Scientific issues are the issues that are related to science and technology. Scientific issues are the main topics among the politicians to discuss.

Scientific issues that are influenced by politics are as follows.

(i) The use of water from rivers to nourish lands.

(ii) Government funds to carry out research.

(iii) The ways to reduce air pollution.

(iv) The climate change is the biggest problem because human is the major cause for this, also the main topic for discussion among politicians.

The scientific questions can never be completely free of political interest as scientific research is facilitated by the government of a nation by providing fundsthat are governed by various politicians. The researchers cannot do research, if they do not have proper facilities.

Science is affected by politics, but it is not merely politics. However, it indirectly works for political purposes because both are related to each other.

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.
