1-500A What is a Gnomonic projection?

When the slope or gradient is steep, the contour lines look like this.

2-100A What is close together?

2-200 When contour lines are far apart you have this type of slope.

2-200A What is a low or shallow slope?

2-300 This is the gradient between two points that are 10 km apart and have a change in elevation of 500 feet.

2-300A What is 50 feet/km?

2-400 This is how energy flows between the sink and the source.

2-400A What is from the source to the sink?

2-500 This is the gradient between points E and D if they are a distance of 2 km apart.

2-500A What is 40m/2km = 20 m/km?

This is the zero degree line for latitude.

3-100A What is the equator?

3-200 This is your latitude if you measure the altitude of Polaris to be 43º above the horizon.

3-200A What is 43º North?

3-300 This line is 180º from the Prime Meridian.

3-300A What is The International Date Line?

3-400 Traveling North along a line of longitude will make the North star do this.

3-400A What is get higher in the sky?

3-500 This is what happens to the width of lines of longitude as you move from the poles towards the equator.

3-500A What is increase in width?

This is the creator of time zones.

Math Problems

You measure line “A – B” to be 3.4 cm. The temperature at point “A” is 8.2ºC. The temperature at point “B” is 21.7ºC. Calculate the gradient of line “A – B” if 1 cm is equal to 3 feet. Round you answer to the nearest hundredth.

What is 1.32ºC/ft
