2. Presentation:

SURFER software uses and generates several types of files:

2. GRID (* .grd): file contains the coordinates of points of a grid generated from the

data file according to a user defined spacing

Unit 8: Topographic mac profile practice

1. Objective:

Knowledge of topographic map or contour map:

o Fundamentals of the card.

o Topographic mac profile practice

o Method of Use.

2. Presentation:

Topographic map helps to locate, orient, but also to represent the relief.

o Markings, hydrographic network shown in blue; vegetation shown in green;

planimetry, construction, place names shown in black; orography (relief

representation shown in sepia.

o Scale: Length measured on the map / horizontal length measured on the ground.

o Location:

- geographic coordinates or longitude and latitude angle from a prime

meridian and the equator (Fig. 1);

- rectangular coordinates or Lambert coordinates (Fig. 2 and 3).

o Orientation: magnetic north; geographic North; grid north.

o relief Representation: 'Contours = locus of points of the topographic surface of

the same altitude; = Intersection between a horizontal plane and the topographic

surface (Fig. 4);

o Equidistance (e) = difference in altitude between two contours.

lines on the map)

3. Topographic profile:

Profile = representation in a vertical plane of the topographic surface (Fig. 5).

Method:

o The profile is made first on graph paper. The profile is then completed reported

properly on a layer with a black rotring or a pencil (2H). For this type of work,

presentation and care of the design are important (Fig. 6).

o Observe the map around section line to provide an initial understanding of relief.

o Apply the sheet of graph paper against the section line. Projecting points of

intersection between the section line and contour.

o Draw the profile progressively by connecting points.

4. Example Problems:

For map extracts attached (1/25 000 scale):

• Calculate the contour interval. • Draw the profile on graph paper

(=> contour lines on the map)

Unit 11: Geological Cross cutting

1. geological cross section pleated structure

a. The major types of structures, definitions:

• Horizontal structure: not deformed structure. The superposition principle can then be applied: when two layers are superimposed, the higher is

the latest.

• Monoclinale Structure: set of layers with the same direction dips to a certain extent. • Pleated Structure: set of layers with varying dips, directed in different directions (Figure1).

Figure 1: anticline and syncline

1: axis of the anticline; 2: Peri-anticlinal termination; 3: Heart of the anticline; 4: synclinal axis;

5: peri-synclinal termination.

Anticline pleat = with the concavity facing the oldest layers, ie, the oldest layers are at the center

of the structure.

Synclinal pleat = whose concavity faces the most recent layers, ie, the most recent layers are at

the center of the structure.

b. Exercise 1

Realize the cut below, where:

- The layers are deposited in chronological order J1, J2, .... J5

- J5 = 250m (maximum), J3 = 200m (hard limestone layer) and J2 = 225 (A soft clay layer)

2. geological cross section faulted structure

a. The major types of structures, definitions:

normal fault: direct fault: indicates a horizontal extension; a layer offset by the fault lack

certain vertical)

inverse Faille: indicates a horizontal shortening; a layer offset by the fault is repeated

twice on certain vertical.

b. Exercise 2

Make the cut A'A (freehand without using the ruler, compass or rapporteur)

It gives the following information:

- Scale: length: 1 / 50,000

Height: 1 / 50,000

- The topography will conform to the given profile

- Thickness of the land (from youngest to oldest)

C5: 200m

C2: 250m (hard clay layer)

C1: 500m (soft clay layer)

The thicknesses of the C3 and C5 land can be deduced from the reading of the card.

- The F flaw is vertical

Unit 12: ROCKWORKS Software

Stratigraphy and geological correlation

1. Purpose:

Realization of geological sections and stratigraphic logs - use of ROCKWORKS

software.

2. Presentation:

RockWorks software is based on two main files:

- template file (* .tem) used to organize a data sheet (titles and types columns) and

to establish a correspondence between the names of the geological formations

encountered and the figures (styles, colors) to be used in the realization logs and

geological sections.

- data file (* .atd) that contains all the data. This file can contain up to 49 columns

(corresponding to different polling parameters) and an unlimited number of rows

(corresponding to different polls).

From these two files, RockWorks can help:

- Establish topographic maps and 3D reliefs

- Calculate volumes of materials and mineral reserves

- Create stratigraphic logs, field cross sections and stratigraphic models

- Create solid models and block diagrams

- Statistically analyze survey data

- Exploit hydrological data

- Analyze 2D and 3D directional data

- Draw and manipulate maps and diagrams (RockPlot tool)

3. Creating stratigraphic logs

The logs illustrate the information collected from each poll taken individually

(corresponding to the different lines of the data file). The log can contain a variety

of elements. In this part of the TP, we will start by building a simple log that

illustrates the stratigraphy using fill models, displays their names, and includes a

title and a color scale. In a second step, logs will be constructed from interpreted

stratigraphic data, observed lithological data and histograms.

4. Creation of basement sections

The purpose of this part is to establish a cross section from several surveys.

RockWorks offers the opportunity to do a cross-sectional survey-by-survey (non-

projected section) that may include the stratigraphic logs themselves, stratigraphic

correlation panels, and annotation of boundary coasts.

RockWorks build the cross section from left to right in the selection order of the

polls. The program reads selected survey data and builds individual logs based on

the options selected in the stratigraphic log drawing window. The complete cross-

section will be displayed on the screen.

5. Creating 3D field slices

The construction of the 3D section is very similar to that of the cross sections.

They may include the individual stratigraphic logs themselves as they may contain

stratigraphic correlations. The reference coordinates of the perimeter can be

plotted.

The program determines the location of polls from the data sheet and displays a

map of their locations on the screen.

Then the program reads the selected survey data and builds the correlations

between them as requested. It finally fills the correlation intervals with the

stratigraphic model and the colors according to what has been predefined in the

template file.

The full 3D cut will be displayed on the screen in a new RockPlot window.

6. Creating stratigraphic diagrams

The stratigraphic logs, cross sections, and 3D sections created so far in this lab

represent the locations of the stratigraphic layers described in the main data sheet.

In the stratigraphic logs, we draw the stratigraphy of only one survey at a time. In

cross sections and 3D sections, two or more holes are drawn at a time.

In cross-sections and 3D slices, these drill holes can be connected with correlation

panels that fill the gaps between surveys by a simple connection between points.

Stratigraphic block diagrams are another way to represent the stratigraphy of your

entire study area. They are totally different from stratigraphic logs, cross-sections,

and 3D slices as they fill the voids between surveys by creating surface models of

each stratigraphic layer, and thus stack these patterns from bottom to top.

Surface models are created using a "grid" method. The 2D grid models are then

stacked to produce a 3D stratigraphic model. This model can then be displayed as a

block diagram.

7. Exercises

folder.
