Mount Royal.
- Using Google Maps (or a similar mapping capability):
a. Provide the latitude and longitude for a feature of your choosing on Mount Royal.
[2 marks]
b. Using your map, or some other source, provide an estimate for the altitude of Mount Royal. (Be certain to cite your source of this estimate.) [1 mark]
c. Using your map, or some other source, provide an estimate for the altitude of the area around Mount Royal. (Be certain to cite your source of this estimate.) [1 mark]
d. Using your map, provide a three-dimensional picture of Mount Royal that illustrates its relief relative to the surrounding area. Based on your answers 1(b) and 1(c), provide a quantitative estimate for the relief of Mount Royal. [4 marks]
e. Based on your answer to 1(d), estimate the minimum depth of rock that the Mount Royal would have required for intrusion (as an igneous pluton - i.e., assume Mount Royal intruded into a pre-existing strata of sedimentary rocks.) [2 marks]
f. Through use of a sketch, provide a geological reconstruction for Mount Royal around the time at which the intrusion took place. Add sketches that provide before and after illustrations. [3 marks each = 9 marks; add 3 bonus marks for 3D block diagrams]
g. Provide a geologically sound narrative to account for Mount Royal’s evolution through use of your sketches - from the past, through to how it appears today. [3 marks]
