Although the deposit is somewhat irregular, assume that it is square or rectangular in shape. Estimate the length of the two sides of the deposit that are in contact with the mountain front (the northwest [NW] side and the southwest side [SW]), then calculate its surface area.
The following questions are based on Map T-26a, a section of the USGS “Spring Hill, Idaho,” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 20 feet). You are going to calculate the approximate volume of the mass wasting deposit shown at the foot of the Pahsimeroi Mountains.
