4
I CAN ANALYZE MAPS AND PREDICT THE LOCATION OF LANDFORMS. MAPS AND MAPPING
5
GLOBE The equator is halfway between the north and south poles Separates the earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres Latitude – parallel to the equator ; east to west Longitude - perpendicular to the equator ; north to south
6
TOME ZONES Earth is divided into 24 time zones Why? Because it takes 24 hours to rotate once on its axis.
7
TIME ZONES As you move west across the prime meridian, the time moves backward. As you move east across the prime meridian, the times move forward Each time zone represents a different hour
8
THERE ARE 6 TIME ZONES IN THE U.S. WHAT TIME IS IT IN CALIFORNIA IF IT IS 4:00PM IN NC?
9
GEOLOGIC MAPS show types of rocks
10
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS Show characteristics of the land like rivers, hills, and constructed features

TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=K-UXRPAJYL0
12
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS-THE BASICS Topographic maps show elevation, or height above sea level Elevation is represented by contour lines on the topographic map Each contour line connects point on the map that have the same elevation
13
THE FLAG RACE CONTOUR INTERVAL = 100 FEET AT WHAT ELEVATION DID I LEAVE MY GLASSES? 100 Feet 500 feet
14
THE FLAG RACE MAP 100 feet 500 feet
15
THE FLAG RACE CONTOUR INTERVAL = 100 FEET 100 Feet 500 feet Which side of the mountain would you chose to climb up? Why?
16
SLOPE STEEP Less steep
17
THE FLAG RACE CONTOUR INTERVAL = 100 FEET 100 Feet 500 feet Which side is less steep?
18
THE FLAG RACE MAP 100 feet 500 feet Which side is less steep on the map? How can we tell? What does “steepness” look like on the map? Let’s give these lines a name….
19
The contour interval is 10… 200 240 *What is the elevation of the church? *What is the elevation of the school?
20
The contour interval is 50… 100 ft 300ft *What is the elevation of the church? *What is the elevation of the school?
21
BONUS: THE CONTOUR INTERVAL IS 100. THE X REPRESENTS THE ELEVATION OF THE PEAK. WHAT IS THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE ELEVATION OF THE PEAK? x 100 500
22
CALCULATE CONTOUR INTERVAL ON THIS MAP
23
DECODING THE MAP Map Scale = ratio between distances on a map and actual distances on the surface of Earth ex. 1: 24,000 Map Legend = explains what the symbols represent on the map
