Overview
These are the questions in my lab, once assigned I will send the pictures and attachments to answer them
- no question one
- What is the contour interval on Map 3.2?
- What is the regional relief on Map 3.2?
- Using the contour lines on Map 3.2, which area along the red line is steeper, from A to B or from B to C? Explain how you came to this conclusion.
- What is the gradient from A to B and B to C on Map 3.2? Show your work.
- Construct a topographic profile from A to A' on the graph paper above. You will need to print out this page, construct your profile, then take a digital photo of this page and upload it with your completed worksheet. Make sure your photo includes your calculation for Question 8, below.
- Based on the scale you choose for the topography (vertical axis) in question 7, calculate the amount of vertical exaggeration on the topographic profile you constructed above. Show your work.
- What is the ratio scale of this map?
- Explain in a sentence how this type of scale works.
- What is the latitude on the north edge of the map?
- What is the longitude on the east edge of the map?
- Find Big Dry Creek, which is north of Rome. What direction does that river flow? Explain two reasons why you came to this conclusion.
- Examine the large Ridge in the Northwestern portion of the map. What is the tallest point in this ridge? How tall is it?
- How much higher is that point from Lake Conasauga?
- What is the gradient between Lake Conasauga and the tallest point in the ridge? Show your work (Hint: zooming out will let you see both features on the map at the same time and may make it easier to measure.
- What state is your topographic map located in?
- What is the name of your 1:24K topographic map?
- What is the largest town on the map? Estimate its population. Explain the reasoning behind your population estimate.
- What is the nature of the topography in this area? Flat? Rolling? Sharp? Mixed? Other?
- What is the range of elevation in this area? (Highest and lowest points, in feet)
- Does the highest point on the map have a name? If so, what is it?
- Which direction(s) do the rivers flow in this area? How can you tell?
- Which direction(s) do the rivers flow in this area? How can you tell?
