1. Seasons and Topographic Maps Lesson One

2. What motion determines night and day?

3. Rotation!

4. Why does the sun “set” in the west?

5. The earth rotates in an easterly direction

6. What motion of the earth determines the seasons?

7. Revolution around the sun!

8. As the earth revolves, what location on earth experiences the least variation of daylight to night?

9. The equator

10. What locations on the earth experience the greatest change in night and day during the year?

11. The closer to the poles you get the greater the variation in night and day.

12. What about the earth causes seasons?

13. It’s tilted axis

14. The earth would not have seasons if…

15. The earth was not tilted!

16. Put seasons in order for Southern Hemisphere starting at far right

17. Summer  Fall  Winter  Spring

18. What is the contour interval for this map?

19. What is the highest possible elevation on this map?

20. What is the steepest side of Cameron Cone?

21. Eastern!

22. What is the difference in elevation between C and D?

23. 200-50=150

24. What is the contour interval of this map?

25. What is the maximum elevation of the centermost peak?

26. 399 ft

27. What is the maximum elevation for the left peak?

28. 339

29. What is this?

30. Weathering

31. What is this?

32. Erosion

33. What is this?

34. Satellite view of river delta

35. How will weathering and erosion affect this surface feature?

36. It will become less deep as the rim of the creator erodes away

37. How will this change over time?

38. Weathering and erosion will lower the elevation of the peaks and round the slopes
