(( Assignment/Evaluation (to be faxed, mailed or emailed) Note: If questions #1, 13-19 …. are posted into Blackboard or emailed, they must be scanned, since there is no accurate or easy way to electronically draw contour lines or cross-sections into the Word documents for the study guides (unless you know how to use AutoCAD). References in this asst are to the 9th edition of the Lab Manual) Marks 4 1. Draw the 300-foot contour line on Figure 9.4 below (9.8 in 8th ed). Draw the 1200-foot contour line on Darwin Volcano. Then use interpolation (Figure 9.10, rule 2) to draw the 600- and 900-foot contour lines on and inside Darwin Volcano. (Lab Man) Marks 2 2. What are the latitude-longitude coordinates of the centre…show more content…
What are the forms of vegetation shown by the green patterns in Figure 9.2 on pg.199? (Lab Man) Woods, Orchards and mangroves 1 4. The map of Garibaldi Lake, BC in Figure 9.18 pg.218 is contoured in feet above sea level. What is its contour interval? (Lab Man) 100 3 5. Refer to Figure 9.2 and fill in the blanks below. a. The ratio scale of this map is: ___1:24,000___ . b. One inch on this map equals exactly __24,000___ inches in real life. c. One inch on this map equals exactly _0.3__ mile(s) in real life, so we can say that 1 inch on the map equals approximately 1/3 mi on the ground. (Lab Man) 3 6. Review how the location of point x in Fig.9.5 in 9th ed’n was determined using PLS shorthand (see caption for Figure 9.5). Then, determine the location of point V in the Figure below using PLS shorthand. (Lab Man) SW1/4, NW1/4, SE1/4, SW1/4, SE1/4 Sec. 11 TS1,…show more content…
What is the average gradient of the land from City Ranch to Verde? (Lab Man) 39.6 m/Km Marks 1 25. In what general direction does Anaverde Creek flow? How can you tell? (Lab Man) The Anaverde Creek flows towards the east. We know this because the contour lines point towards the west, which is the source of the water. 1 26. What is the total relief on this map area? Show your calculation. (Lab Man) 5008ft – 2600ft = 2408ft 2 27. Notice how the image of the cinder cone in Fig. 9.17 on pg 217 is distorted when you compare the three successive pictures. Not only is the base of the cone different in each picture, but the round patch of snow in the central crater appears to shift position relative to the base. In which photograph (left, middle, or right) does the image of the cone appear to be least distorted? Why? The same varying-perspective view that distorts features in air photos also makes it possible to view them stereoscopically. Thus, when any two overlapping photos in a sequence are placed side-by-side and viewed with the stereoscope, you see the overlap area as a vertically exaggerated three-dimensional image of the landscape. (With practice, you can train your eyes to do this without a stereoscope.) (Lab
