Question

http://www.largeimages.bgs.ac.uk/iip/mapsportal.html?id-1003959 A major new E-W road is planned along a line from 250570 to 320570. By considering the geology address the following issues associated with changes in soil and rock type 1. a) Identify and delineate (giving grid references) sections of the route with significantly different drainage properties and explain what properties you would expect in each section. b) Identify and delineate (giving grid references) areas of potential ground instability and explain why your chosen areas may be unstable. c) Identify and delineate (giving grid references) potential sections that may have contaminated land issues and explain the geological source of the contaminants

Explanation / Answer

1)

a) In every location which is suitable for the human settlement should have the proper constructions of the architecture but the most important things is that it should have the proper drainage system. as the drainage system enable many good things to the human settlement. but here the section is not effiecient to make a proper drainage system. it is due to the fact that the section have the water bodies and by making the drainage system it can contaminate the water bodies.

now the porperties which a drainage system should have are as follows-

=> it should be leakage proof and can transfer the waste water efficiently.

=> it should have the ability to discharge the waste properly to the dunkyard or any ground table.

=> it should not pollute the ground water and should not discharge it to the water table below the eath surface.

thus these properties are to be expexted to the given or shown section above.

-------------------------------------------------

b) The area which we have choosen in this is having the cracks in it. it is generated due to the fault created by the earthquake, geothermal and shocks due to active volcano siting below the earth crust. this make the vibrations and due to this the landscape or the region becomes the instable. due to this instability the crack below the crust propogate more and thus make it more unstable.

--------------------------------------------------

c) The land near to the river stream lines and the water bodies the issues of the land contamination is more concerntrated.due to which it can lead to the problem of the pollutions and thus it will lead to the high potential of the contamination of the land mass and the water mass near to the targeted area.
