Topographic Maps 11/18. Contour maps show the changes in elevation on the Earth’s surface.. Techniques in Active Tectonic Study. Juni 20-Juli 2, 2013. Instruktur: Prof. J Ramon Arrowsmith (JRA). Dari Arizona State University (ASU) - US. Tempat Pelaksanaan: . Ruang Pangea, Laboratorium Gempabumi (LabEarth) – Puslit Geoteknologi LIPI dan Kuliah lapangan akan dilakukan disekitar Sesar Lembang, Jawa Barat.. Topographic Maps. Contouring. Topographic contours indicating surface relief. Image taken from US Army training manual.. Solid yellow lines represent surface isobars, line of equal air pressure. Green dashed lines are geopotential heights, the altitude at which 500 millibars of air pressure are attained. These types of contour maps are used by meteorologists. The weather system shown is the Storm of the Century, a powerful winter storm called a nor’easter.. Topography. Shows the three dimensional shape and elevations of an area of land in two dimensions. Topographic Map. Height above sea level. Elevation. Line that connects places on a topographic map that are all at the same elevation (eventually a closed loop). Contour lines never cross or touch!. Mapping Mechanics: . An introduction to topography . by the use of contour lines . Upon completion of this lesson, students will be able to:. define topography. define the USGS and different techniques used to study topography. Maps. Topographic Map. :. A . contour map. -. Complicated Topographic Map. Simple Topographic Map. I am standing where the land meets the water, what is this called?. *All elevations are relative to sea level. Section 2: . Types of Maps. K.

The compass rose shows the directions: north, south, east and west. Legend. The legend, or key, lists and explains the symbols and colors used on the map. Scale. A scale can be used to figure out the distance between two locations on a map.. on a Military Map. Action: . Identify Topographic Symbols on a Military Map. Conditions: . Given . a standard 1:50,000 scale topographical map. Standards: . Correctly identify the topographic symbols, colors, and marginal information on a military map. interpret topographic maps and satellite views to identify land and erosional features and predict how these features may be reshaped by weathering. A 2D view of a 3D surface. How. do topographic maps give you a picture of what the landscape looks like?. . Presenter: Alicia McGee. Email: . amcgee@mobilemcps.org. Make a copy of this to take notes!. Maps and Geography . We want students to become global students….. So….. Students should be able to:. a ridge. a valley. g. oing uphill. closer . contours. = steeper slope. contours farther apart = shallower slope. Imagine that the red line represents a geologic contact of some sort. Given that it doesn’t parallel contours we know it isn’t horizontal, and given that it doesn’t cut straight across contours we know it isn’t vertical. Can we tell something about its orientation? .
