Map scale is the relationship between a distance on a map and

• real distance on a slope.

• real distance on the ground.

• real distance on the scale.

Steepness of the ground is measured as this.

• slope

• map scale

• time zone

• cross section

What is map view?

• shows an area viewed from the side

• shows an area as viewed from above

If you are hiking and you use a topographic map of the area and it has contour lines that are very close together, what kind of a hike can you expect? Explain.

• The hike will be very easy. Contour lines that are close together indicate a gentle topography.

• The hike will be very hard. Contour lines that are close together indicate a steep topography.

This is all the symbols used on a map.

• slope

• map legend or key

• time zone

• cross section

This is a representation that shows faults, rock types, and rock ages.

What kind of mapping projection best represents the shapes of areas near the the equator?

• topographic map

• cylindrical projections

• conical projections

What type of map would you use to show roads, parks, and general elevation? Explain.

• GPS (Global Positiong System), because it uses satellites for navigation

• GIS (General Information System), because it uses digital maps that create layers (like a cake). It will show different layers like land, elevations, roads, streams and lakes.

• Remote Sensing, because information about an area can be collected without coming into physical contact with it.
