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.
What is your favorite map!
Mercator map
Conic map
Gnomic map
