Presentation transcript:

Station 1 What is the elevation of X? What is the Elevation of Y? What is the elevation different between the highest Point and Y?

Station 2 4. What land feature is at Point A? 5. What land features are on either side of Point A?

Station 3 6. Which of the following best describes this map? A. River delta B. Gently sloping plain C. One large mountain D. Two hills 7. How might this land feature look in the future due to weathering by wind and rain? A. The mountains will be shorter. B. The mountains will be taller. C. The mountains will move to a different location. D. A lake will be created at the top of the mountain.

Station 4 8. What landform is represented at point D? 9. If point B is at 200 meters and the contour interval is 50 meters, then what is the elevation of point F? 10. What is happening to the elevation at point F? 11. What are the marks inside the circle called?

Station 5 12. What is the contour interval used on Rock Mountain? 13. What is the best word to describe the slope nearest to Fish Creek? 14. What is the best word to describe the slope nearest to the lake? 15. Between elevations 1,000 and 1,500, what would the elevation of the contour line nearest to 1,000 meters be?

Station 6 Enchanted Rock Devil’s tower 16. Which picture matches the topographic map of Enchanted Rock? 17. Which picture matches the topographic map of Devil's Tower? 18.Which of these two land features would be hardest to climb? 19. Which of these two land features has the more gentle slope?

Station 7 20. The contour lines on both sides of the river are very close together. Are these gentle or steep slopes? 21. What does this create - a mountain, deposition, or a canyon?

Station 8 22. Identify the contour interval on the map. 23. Are points A and B at the same elevation? 24. What is the term that is used to describe the elevation at 0 miles (where land and sea meet)? 25.What is the change in elevation from point C to D?
