(a)
Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb
Temperature 37⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 21⁰ F
Sky coverage CLEAR
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 1002.4 mb. Temperature 37⁰ F, dew-point temperature with clear sky coverage. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.
(b)
Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Current weather CONTINUOUS LIGHT SNOW
Sea-level pressure 999.7 mb
Temperature 27⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 20⁰ F
Sky coverage OVERCAST
Wind speed 23-27 KNOTS
Wind direction NORTH WEST
Pressure change
during last three hours 1.1 mb
Pressure tendency FALLING
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.7 mb. Temperature 27⁰ F, dew-point temperature 20⁰ F with cloudy sky. The current weather of the area is continuous light snow. This weather represents a dry, windy conditions of the area because of high wind, low temperature and dew point temperature. Chances of rain are expected due to falling pressure. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.
(c)
Decode information from each of the following station models:
Answer to Problem 1E
Sea-level pressure 999.8 mb
Temperature 63⁰ F
Dew-point temperature 60⁰ F
Sky coverage PARTLY CLOUDY
Current weather THUNDER WITH LIGHT RAIN
Explanation of Solution
The given diagram represents an area with sea-level pressure 999.8 mb. Temperature 63⁰ F, dew-point temperature 60⁰ F with partly cloudy sky. The current weather of the area is light rain with thunderstorms. Values are identified using reference symbols given in the weather map lab analysis material.

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.…arrow_forward
