Mapping Review Questions

F. Up to 40° from the Equator because the relative humidity line on the graph only goes DOWN as you go to the 40° lines N and S then it begins to increase

Which of the following is the BEST estimate of the DIFFERENCE in elevation between Black Bear Camp and Eagle Peak? A. 400 m B. 900 m C. 1200 m D. 1500 m

ESTIMATE 1400 m at Eagle Peak and B. 900 m ESTIMATE 1400 m at Eagle Peak and 500 m at Black Bear Camp 1400 – 500 = 900 m

C. It is the only formation that has circles with HACHURE marks which indicate a depression

Use the map scale of about 1 cm = 300 km J. 2100 km Use the map scale of about 1 cm = 300 km

J. The map is a projection of a round world on a flat surface This leads to distortions of the map.

F. Position 1 The contour lines are closely spaced here which indicates a steep hill. Due to gravity, the water will flow faster at this point.

B. You can see that at the beginning of the line it steeply goes down into a valley indicated by the V shaped contour lines. Then it slowly goes up and starts to go down on the other side.

Longitude lines run N and S. You describe them as being E or W. F. 75° W Longitude lines run N and S. You describe them as being E or W.

That is where the lines are closest which indicates steepness. B. X That is where the lines are closest which indicates steepness.

Using the scale, the growth would be equal to 4 km. G. 4 km Using the scale, the growth would be equal to 4 km.

B. The position of each depth measurement relative to fixed points on the shore This would allow them to know the exact location of the depths they are measuring in the lake.

A camper walked from point A to point B by taking a path shown by the dotted line. What is the approximate distance the camper walked? A. 1.5 miles B. 2.5 miles C. 3.0 miles D. 3.5 miles

Use the scale to determine the distance. A. 1.5 miles Use the scale to determine the distance.

What is the possible elevation of point C? A. 75 feet B. 85 feet C. 95 feet D. 105 feet

B. 85 feet Since the contour interval is 10 feet, you see the last contour line measures 80 feet. C would have to be more than 80 feet but less than 90 feet since there is no 90 foot contour line.
