1- What are the routine procedures applicable in using aerial
photographs in field mapping?
2- What are the factors affecting
vertical exaggeration?
Answer:
1- the routine procedures
applicable in using aerial
photographs in field mapping:
1-
The practice of stereoscopic viewing is extremely valuable
2-
The preparation of photographs for field use, and methods of annotating
photographs and recording of field data are important.
3-
Particularly useful are methods of locating the observer's position and
ground observations on the photographs.
4-
Aerial photographs are used in close conjunction with topographic base
maps as well as with certain field instruments, such as an altimeter.
5-
Prior to any field study it is desirable to scan the stereoscopic models
for geologic and other information; this involves interpretation techniques
2- The factors affecting vertical
exaggeration:
العوامل التى تتحكم في المبالغة الرأسية:
أ- أثناء التصوير الجوي:
1- تتناسب المبالغة الرأسية طرديا مع
القاعدة الهوائية
2- تتناسب المبالغة الرأسية طرديا مع
التداخل الطولى
3- تتناسب المبالغة الرأسية عكسيا مع
البعد البؤري لعدسة الة التصوير
4- تتناسب المبالغة الرأسية عكسيا مع
ارتفاع الطيران
ب- أثناء الابصار المجسم:
1- تتناسب المبالغة الرأسية طرديا مع
مسافة الابصار
2- تتناسب المبالغة الرأسية طرديا مع
المسافة التى تفصل بين الصورتين
3- تتناسب المبالغة الرأسية عكسيا مع قاعدة
العين
III-
Write shortly about the geologic interpretation of aerial photographs
of the following:
-
Horizontal strata
-
Dipping beds
-
Faults
Answer:
-
Horizontal strata
Flat-lying or nearly horizontal beds
are readily recognized where different sedimentary rocks exhibit contrasting
photographic tones expressed as irregular bands extending along the topographic
contour.
-
Dipping beds
Numerous expressions of dip of
sedimentary beds may be seen on aerial photographs.
Dip direction generally is conspicuousواضح where topographic surfaces
coincide with bedding surfaces
-
Faults
High-angle faults commonly stand out
on aerial photographs. This is a direct result of the aerial view which allows
a large area and the gross features within it to be seen at one time.
Low-angle faults generally are
difficult to interpret from aerial photographs.
