2. Contour Interval/elevation - $100
What is the elevation at A?
120 meters

3. Contour interval/elevation - $200
What is the highest possible elevation of C?
139 meters

4. Contour interval/elevation - $300
What is the contour interval? 25

5. Contour interval/elevation - $400
Explain the process to finding the contour interval?
Determine the difference in elevation and divide by the number of spaces between the contour lines that you used for the elevations.

6. Contour interval/elevation - $500
Which path would be the least steep for hiking? Why?
B, it goes up in a location where the lines are not as close together and zig-zags to remain for flat

7. Polaris - $100
What is Polaris and in which hemisphere can it been seen?
North star that is only seen in the northern hemisphere

8. Polaris - $200
Polaris’ altitude in the sky at a location equals the ____________ of a location?
Latitude

9. Polaris - $300
What is the altitude of Polaris in the night Sky at Massena NY?
450

10. Polaris- $400
What is the latitude of the observer based on the diagram?
Polaris in the night sky
horizon
45 degrees north

11. Polaris- $500
Which city in NYS would see Polaris higher in the sky Buffalo or Albany?
Buffalo.

12. Gradient- $100 What is the formula for gradient?
Change in field value divided by distance

13. Conservation of mass - $200
If the elevation of A is 500m and the elevation of B is 100m and the distance is 10 km, what is the gradient?
40 m/km

14. Gradient - $300
What is the gradient between A and B if the distance is 5 miles?
FTT
40 ft/mile

15. Gradient - $400
When looking at a contour map, how do you know where the gradient is the highest?
Where the lines are closest together.

16. Gradient - $500
What is the gradient between A and E if the distance is 3.5 km?
(round to nearest 10th)
120-70/3.5 =
14.3 meters per km

17. Profiles - $100 What is a profile of a landscape?
The view from the side when first given a view from above.

18. Which profile is the best between C-A-K?
Profiles - $200 A

19. Profiles- $300 What are the steps to completing a profile?
Place a scrap sheet of paper between the two points on the map
Mark every location where a contour line intersects that spot
Determine the elevation for each mark
Use that scrap sheet to mark the heights on the graph in the locations of the marks
Connect points with a line

20. Profiles- $400
Which profile is correct between A and F ? c

21. Profiles - $500 D

22. Latitude/longtitude - $100
Which lines run parallel north and south of the equator?
Line of latitude

23. Latitude/longitude - $200
Which lines run up and down and meet at the poles. They also measure degrees east and west of the prime meridian?
Lines of Longitude.

24. Latitude/Longitude - $300
What is the latitude and longitude of Oswego, NY rounded to the nearest 30’ ?
43030’ 0 North, 76030’ West

25. Latitude/longtitude - $400
If it is 1:00pm in Iceland with a longitude of 15 degrees west, what time is in Massena with a longitude of 75 degrees west?
4 hours behind or 9:00am

26. Latitude/longitude - $500
How many degrees per hour does the earth rotate and how do we know?
15 degrees per hour. We know this because the earth is a sphere which is 360 degrees, and it takes 24 hours to complete one rotation.
360 divided by 24 = 15

27. Final Jeopardy
