Gradient. Inquiry  How do we measure and describe gradients on maps and in the field?  How does a map indicate gradients?  What is the relationship.

Topographical Maps. What is a topographical map?  A detailed map showing physical and cultural features and the elevation, or height, of the land  Elevation.

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.

 Students will know core vocabulary..  Students will distinguish between the scale shape and the true shape of the Earth.

Earth Fields Fields: Regions of space where there are measurable quantities of a given property at every point. Isoline: connects points of equal value.

Another way to express slope is gradient. Gradient is the average slope of a particular area on a map. The formula for gradient is: Change in field value Distance Gradient

The formula for gradient can be found on page 1 of your ESRT’s Field value is whatever the isolines on the map are measuring. Distance is the actual distance between 2 points given using the map scale.

Example Gradient = change in field value Distance Gradient = 400 m – 200 m B Elevation in meters 2 miles Gradient = 200 m 2 miles Gradient = meters mile 12Miles A 100

Letters A, B, C, D, and E on the topographic map shown below represent locations on Earth's surface. Letters K, L, M, and N are locations along Copper Creek. Elevations are measured in meters. Calculate the gradient between points B and C on the topographic map shown and label your answer with the correct units. Be sure to show all your work, including proper units. Express your answer to the nearest tenth.

Change in field value Distance Gradient = 50 m – 10 m 2km G = 40 m 2km == m km 20 NOT DONE YET Calculate the gradient between points B and C on the topographic map shown and label your answer with the correct units. Be sure to show all your work, including proper units. Express your answer to the nearest tenth m km
