A guide to commonly used map projections prepared for use in HyperCard, 1988 A guide to commonly used map projections prepared for use in HyperCard, 1988
This guide briefly describes and illustrates the characteristics of 17 map projections commonly used to present thematic data. By means of simple sketches of the basic grid system of longitude and latitude known as the Earth's graticule, the guide shows examples of the following categories of map projections: planes (azimuthal), cones, cylinders, and miscellaneous. The text gives...

Integrating spatial and frequency information in the search for kuroko deposits of the Hokuroku District, Japan Integrating spatial and frequency information in the search for kuroko deposits of the Hokuroku District, Japan
A new method (FINDER) that uses the area of influence and Bayesian statistics to aid in selection of target areas on the basis of one or more variables and multiple observations was tested with drill hole data. A previously defined bimodal distribution of Na 2 O with the low sodium group confined to a 1.5 X 3.0-km zone beneath the cluster of deposits at Fukazawa was used as a control...

Models of grades and tonnages of some lode tin deposits Models of grades and tonnages of some lode tin deposits
Descriptive and grade/tonnage models have recently been built for many types of deposits. Such models consist of descriptions of mineralogy, host rocks, ore textures, controls, alteration, geochemical signatures, age, and tectonic settings, together with statistical models of grades, tonnages, and contained metal of deposits of each type. The models are used to identify areas that may...

The relative contribution of accretion, shear, and extension to Cenozoic tectonic rotation in the Pacific Northwest The relative contribution of accretion, shear, and extension to Cenozoic tectonic rotation in the Pacific Northwest
Large Cenozoic clockwise rotations defined by paleomagnetic data are an established fact in the Pacific Northwest, and many tectonic models have been proposed to explain them, including (1) rotation of accreted oceanic microplates during docking, (2) dextral shear between North America and northward-moving oceanic plates to the west, and (3) microplate rotation in front of an expanding...

Paleomagnetic results from the Shasta Bally Plutonic Belt in the Klamath Mountains Province, northern California Paleomagnetic results from the Shasta Bally Plutonic Belt in the Klamath Mountains Province, northern California
Available paleomagnetic data show approximately 100° of clockwise rotation for Permian and Triassic strata of the Eastern Klamath terrane. Jurassic strata of this terrane are rotated approximately 60° clockwise, which is comparable to rotations reported for Jurassic plutons that occur elsewhere in the Klamath Mountains province. Paleomagnetic data obtained during the present study from...

Crustal extension along a rooted system of imbricate low-angle faults: Colorado River extensional corridor, California and Arizona Crustal extension along a rooted system of imbricate low-angle faults: Colorado River extensional corridor, California and Arizona
The upper 10 to 15 km of crystalline crust in the 100-km-wide Colorado River extensional corridor of mid-Tertiary age underwent extension along an imbricate system of gently dipping normal faults. Detachment faults cut gently down-section eastward in the direction of tectonic transport from a headwall breakaway, best expressed in the Old Woman Mountains, California. Successively higher...
