Find the large dune just south of “24” in Section 24. Assume that this dune is moving at an average rate of 90 feet (27 meters) per year. Calculate how long will it take for this dune to migrate out of the area shown on this map (a graphic map scale is found inside the front cover of the Lab Manual).
The following questions are based on the portion of the “Kane Spring NW, California” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 10 feet) shown in Figure 46-6. These isolated dunes in the desert near the Salton Sea (33°11'02"N, 115°52'20"W) are moving over a surface that is only thinly covered with sand.
