After UNIT VII you should be able to:  Interpret major topographical features such as hills, river valleys, and depressions  Accurately draw contour.

Isolines: contour lines on an elevation map Isotherms: contour lines on a temperature map Isobars: contour lines on an air pressure.

Chunky Topo Maps Or....we’re the Hakowie.. Isolines connect points of ________ value.  equal.

Isolines Isolines = lines that connect points of equal values. (iso = equal) The “values” can be anything… temp, pressure, elevation, etc.

Gradient (or slope) -The rate of change in field values between two points on a field map. - How gentle or steep the land is Steep slope – lines are closer.

Presentation transcript:

What is the maximum elevation of the hill on west side of island? Answer = 99 ft.

What is the highest possible elevation on the map? 599 m

What is a possible elevation for P? 970 ft

NOTE: The first hachured contour has the same value as the last unhachured contour

southeast Which direction does the moose River flow?

In which direction is Rush Creek flowing? Northeast and north Where does the creek have the highest velocity? B

What is Gradient? The rate of change from place to place in a field. This is the same as the “slope” If isolines are close together, the slope is steep, and the gradient is large

Which side Of hill B is Easiest to Climb? Southwest side

Which side of hill is the steepest gradient? Answer = north

Calculating Gradient Gradient = change in field value change in horizontal distance

100 Gradient = 10o / 100 m ___________ = .1 degrees per meter meters

Calculating Rate of Change Rate of Change = change in field value change in time
