1. If the mountain was one contour line
higher, what would its elevation be?
240 ft
180 ft
120 ft
60 ft
300 feet

2. What is the CONTOUR INTERVAL
for this map?
The height between each
line is 25 meters.

3. What is missing for this to be a complete
topographic map?
The scale, key, compass rose

4. Which side of this island has a RIVER?
The WEST side (U shapes)

5. Fill in the missing contour elevations A-D
The contour interval is 75 since sea level
is 0. A= 375, B =300, C = 0, D =75
375 75
300

6. The following model of an ocean island is represented below.
What is the highest elevation of the island?
a. 0 ft
b. 10ft
c. 120 ft
d. 134 ft

7. Which cross-section most closely matches the contour map below it?

8. If you were going to climb the mountain shown in the map shown above, from which direction would you have the steepest climb?
a. -
b. -
c. East
d. West

9. What is a possible elevation of point C?
a. 75 ft
b. 85 ft

10. According to this map below, the steepest area would be at point –
A and B.

11. Lines that connect points of equal elevations are called what?
a. benchmarks
contour intervals
hachures
contour lines

12. What would this mountain look like to someone looking from the south?

13. What is the elevation of point C?
A little over 125 m.

14. If the contour interval is 200 meters,
what is the elevation of point D? D A B C
600 meters

15. What is a contour line?
A line drawn around areas
at the same elevation

16. Draw the topographic map for this area.

17. What is the SCALE for this map?
1 cm. = 1 km.

18. What do the HACHURES indicate?
That there is a depression
(sunk in crater or pit)

19. What is the elevation of the black dot?
400 meters (since it is sunk IN)

20. How much taller than mountain A is mountain B?
A is 60 m, B is 100 m, so B is 40 meters
taller than A.

21. Which mountain is the STEEPEST?
The west most mountain with point B,
because the contour lines are close.

22. What would this mountain look like to someone looking from the south?

23. Based on the scale, how wide is the hill?
1 cm = 500 meters
7 cm  3500 meters

24. Draw the topographic map for this area.

25. How did finding the same species fossils
on different continents prove the theory
of Continental Drift?
The oceans are too far to swim across,
they must have walked when connected.

26. Why is there a hole in the gulf of
mexico that wasn’t there in Pangea?
Things happen to change the Earth,
the moon got knocked out from there!

27. Why was Wegener’s theory of
Continental Drift originally rejected?
He couldn’t explain WHY
the continents drifted.

28. What is really causing the continents
to move around on the Earth?
Convection currents in the
Earth’s mantle move the crust.

29. Which 2 continents are the best puzzle
fit evidence of continental drift?
South America and Africa

30. Name any FOUR types of evidence for
Continental Drift.
Glaciers, mountain chains, puzzle fit,
fossils, mid-atlantic ridge, rock layers
