Question

1. Explain what a contour line is.

Answer 1

Counter lines are lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal elevation.

Answer 2

2. What kind of information do contour lines provide?

Answer 3

Contour lines indicate the height of an area of land.
The distance they are apart indicates the slope of the land.... when they are close the land rises/falls steeply and when they are further apart the gentler the incline.

Answer 8

Problem: How can you use a topographic map to pinpoint a location?

Materials:
metric ruler
pencil

Procedure:
The Program Leader has sent the following radio message from her plane: “Attention Cyber ed. Students…. I’m heading northeast approximately 0.5 mi past railroad tracks….over a school…. I see 21CCCS on my right… now a second set of railroad tracks…. Now after about 0.75 miles, I’m heading west over the start of a town or city… now heading northeast, following the river/stream approximately 0.9 mi. I see a road, and turned southeast… now I’m passing a golf course to the left….winds are calm….some tree tops and quarries (purple dots)….CANISTER AWAY! GOOD LUCK!

1. Use the message and the topographic map in Observations to determine where the pilot started sending the message.

2. Trace on the map the probable path taken by the pilot. Instructions for drawing in Word can be found on the assignment page.

3. On the map, circle the area where you would concentrate your search for the canister.

Observations:
Based on the information provided by the contour lines and color shading, describe the shape of the land shown on the map as best you can.
