MAGO - 2nd Semester Final Exam Review

Reading and interpreting topographic maps elevation involves:

• Identifying contour lines and their intervals to determine elevation changes

• Looking only at the map's colors

• Ignoring contour lines and focusing on symbols

• Estimating elevation by guessing

Reading and interpreting global maps involves understanding which of the following?

• Latitude and longitude coordinates

• Weather patterns

• Population density

• Time zones

The prime meridian and equator are located at which coordinates?

• 0° longitude and 0° latitude

• 90° longitude and 0° latitude

• 0° longitude and 90° latitude

• 180° longitude and 0° latitude

Parallels are:

• lines that run from east to west on a map or globe

• lines that run from north to south on a map or globe

• imaginary lines joining the poles

• lines that divide the earth into time zones

A map scale is:

• A tool used to measure temperature

• A symbol that shows directions on a map

• A ratio that shows the relationship between distance on a map and actual distance on the ground

• A type of map projection

Contour lines on a map are:

• lines that show roads

• lines that indicate elevation

• lines that mark rivers

• lines that show vegetation

How are these lines drawn on a map?

• Horizontally and vertically

• Diagonally

• In circles

• Randomly

When looking at contour lines on a map, the slope is gentle if:

• the contour lines are close together

• the contour lines are far apart

• the contour lines form circles

• the contour lines are straight

The contour interval is:

• the difference in elevation between two adjacent contour lines

• the distance between two points on a map

• the highest point on a map

• the scale of the map

The formula used to find the average slope between any two points is:

• (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• (y1 + y2) / (x1 + x2)

• (x1 + x2) / (y1 + y2)
