Maps

A topographic map

contains which key elements:

• Mountain Lines

• Contour Lines

• Height Lines

• Contour Intervals

• Index Contours

counter intervals are useful because:

• They are the distance or difference in elevation between contour lines.

• They represent the starting point of a river

• They show where there is vegetetion

• They show the distante in kilometers from one point in the land to another.

What is a Geoscientist?

• is the study of the animals and how they interact with other spheres.

• is the study of the vegetation and where should we plant trees.

• is the study of the earth's history and how it functions and interacts with the surrounding biospheres.

• *NONE OF THE ABOVE*

In which ocassions would you sea a topographic map:

• to see most populated areas

• to find streets easily

• to see were tropical estores are heading

• *NONE OF THE ABOVE*

What is the difference between a Mercator and a conic map?

• They are both the same thing but with different names

• The Mercator represent Earth with parallel lines of latitude and longitude. The conic projection is projected points and lines into a cone.

• The are both maps used based on the locations you live in

• the Mercator projection is projected in a cone shape, and the conic is the most common map, or the map we use today.

What is a geodesic?

• The longest route between two points on earth’s surface

• The shortest route between two points on earth’s surface

• Is a disc that helps you measure the distance on a map.

Who might use a Gnomonic projection map?

• Seismic workers

• You

• Navies

• *NONE OF THE ABOVE*

A conic map is used to display large countries that need equal area representation.

• True

• False

This map represents

• Mercator projection

• Conic projection

• sketch-mapping projection

• It is not a projection

What is a pro of gnomic projection

• It is the most difficult map to read; almost no one uses it

• It helps you to identify geodesic easier.

• It helps you see the poles easier than before.
