Refers to the different landforms occuring on the surface of earth, such as mountains, plains, coastal areas. A branch of geology dealing with the origin and nature of landforms with emphasis or erosional processes.

Define water Earth materials geologic process Rock, Sediment Soil Fluids water. Geologic processes Form, transform and distribute (redistribute) earth materials.

Parking lot

Sediments and parts

Refers to the subsurface, water or aquifer

Deals with the physical conditions of the land surface.

Can be prepared based on the contour of the site if the site is sloping, hilly or mountainous

Is an area of land ADJACENT TO STREAMS OF RIVERS which stretches from the banks of it's channel to the base of enclosing valley walls and which experiences flooding during periods of high discharge.

What are the soil erosion control:

Prepared to emphasize features of hydrogeologic importance. AS ARCHITECT, TO ACCESS OUR BUILDINGS AND ITS EFFECT TO WATERSHED SYSTEM.

For lineal construction

Simply that catches area of land of rain and snow and drains or seep into marsh, stream, river, lake or groundwater.

Description of landforms

All relate to the topography of a land surface. Knowing how the land surface elevation varies across a site design and land protection

Standard slope ranges 0-3 3-8 8-18 18-30 30-50 Above 50

Water bearing strata of rock, gravel, or sand in which ground water is stored. It is a very valuable resource of potable water and must be protected from pollution.

Type of map brings basic geological information together with data on the hydraulic and hydro chemical characteristics of the rocks and their usefulness for ground water supply.

Some geological elements useful in land development.

Determining the difference in elevation between two points (rise) Dividing the elevation by horizontal distance between the two points (run)

It offers the planner the best and easiest solution to site development. Economical Adaptable to great variety of planning forms and adequate to all types of street patterns Problem-drainage and open areas need some pitch for discharging water to surface inlets

Thin layer of Earth's surface composed of a mixture of fragments of rocks, water, air and organic matter. Essential in determining it's ability to provide, foundations for structures, to filter surface water and to absorb sewage and waster water.

To be done on a site for building three storey or more.

Drainage and sewage flow

Most basic element of site analysis it is the lay of the land Describe the surface features of the land

Is high when rainfall intensity is high, slope is long and where vegetative cover is less, and no erosion control practices such as contour tilling, terracing and the like are in place. NO BUILDING IS TO VE LOCATED ON THE DIRECTION OF WATER FLOW AS IT WILL PRONE TO _______ AND WATER FLOW WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE BUILDING.

The climate of a larger area such as a region or country. Cannot be affected by any design changes however building design can be developed.

Consists of a series of interlinked physical systems powered by the sun.

Formed because of heat and pressure

Rocks and mineral structure of Earth's crust is vital in identifying the appropriate land use and determining the intensity of such use.

Aids in recognizing area suitable for building locations, roads, parking, or play areas. It may show if construction is feasible

Is the portion of land river and it's tributaries. It encompasses all of the land surface dissected and drained by many streams and creeks that flow downhill into one another. Indicates the area from which WATER IS GATHERED to fill streams and rivers in building adjacent streams or rivers, to detailed flood studies and special permits are necessary.

Prescribes an easement on rivers and streams.

Large and uncomplicated grading plans and may also be used to compute volume of water in ponds and lakes. Used by landscape architects.

Groups areas exhibiting a particular range of degree of inclination

Indicate in the topographic map to show the elevation of the contour line in meters above sea level

Area where soil is REMOVED

Shows different classification units of soil in locality

The variations in localized climate around a building. Site of a building have many ________ caused by the presence of hills, valley s, slopes, streams and other buildings.

Expands on the concept of slope. It refers to the overall changes in topography on a site or a particular region.

Is the rate of change in elevation between two points in a given area.

What is the types of climate?

What is three types of rocks?

Shows the distribution of the geological materials that are likely to produce poor soils that are UNSUITABLE FOR AGRICULTURE. It also shows the SAFEST ROCK FOR FOUNDATION FOR BUILDING AND ROADS. TO AVOID THE ________ FAULT LINE CONSTRUCTION MUST ALSO MAKE A WAY FO A 5 METERS BUFFER ZONE ON A BOTH SIDES OF AN ACTIVE FAULT ACCORDING TO PHILVOLS.

Road construction

Formed by cooling molten lava

Is a consolidated rock material lying at various depths below all points of the Earth's surface.

How to measure cut and fills?

Gradient or inclination of a surface expressed as a ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run; usually expressed in percent slope defines the relative steepness or flatness of a land surface

Involves the remodeling of existing land form the functions and circulation of the site

Primary agent of many geologic processes.

REMOVAL of soil

Could serve as retaining wall

For complex grading projects.

To identify the area of steep slopes and the possible and access Graphic representation of slope to show the classes or ranges

Is the direction in which a sloping land surface faces relative to the cardinal points, such as southern aspect and northern aspect.

Shows the area that are susceptible to floods and flash floods. It defines the areas which are at risk flooding under extreme rainfall conditions.

Required for taller buildings to determine soil bearing capacity and bedrock depth for pilling purposes.

Or the parent material from which soils are formed cab be classified into igneous, sediment and metamorphic.

Vertical distance between contour lines

Define as the vertical difference in elevation between highlands and lowlands in a given region.

Area where soil is ADDED

The darker the color what?

What is the concept of slope and percent slope

Graphic way to show of the land in a plan view elevations and are used to determine the suitability of the land of various uses
