TRANSECTS YEAR 10 GEOGRAPHY SKILLS

NAME THE PHYSICAL AND NATURAL FEATURES Once a transect is drawn, we can make generalisations about features such as landforms, vegetation, soils, transport settlement and agricultural land use.

Transects are easily made from topographic maps. Topographic maps show a bird’s eye view of features on the ground and their heights.

Transects are used to show the relationship between different features of the physical and human environments along a cross-section or between two points-in this case points D to B Which of the following would most likely represent the transect from Point D to Point B?

Activity-teacher demonstrates Draw a transect of Guzzleville between Point A and the Observation Tower. Draw a straight line between Point A and the Observation Tower. Refer to your key first. Use a key in the space provided.

ACTIVITY CROSS SECTIONS

QUESTIONS WHAT IS THE LANDFORM IN THE BAKER’S RIDGE AREA What type of vegetation is found around Mt Connor What is the main land-use in the Slingshot creek area? What type of landform is most suitable for dairy farming? Give reasons why the Mt Connor area is not suitable for crop growing?

Complete a transect for the Narrabeen lakes area. What observations can you make about land-use in the area? Don’t forget to look at your topographic key.
