Answer 1

Base map

Question 2

Angles between adjacent lines in a closed polygon. They may be measured clockwise or counter- clockwise.

Answer 2

Interior angles

Question 3

May have values 0 to 180 degrees but often not used to angles greater than 90 degrees.

Answer 3

Deflection angles

Question 4

Acute horizontal angles between the reference meridian and the line.
Contains angles that are between 0 to 90 degrees.

Answer 4

Bearings

Question 5

The angle between the meridian and the line measured clockwise. Contains angles that are between 0 to 360 degrees.

Answer 5

Azimuth

Question 6

An imaginary line between the North Pole and the South Pole, drawn on maps to help to show the position of the place.

Answer 6

Meridian

Question 7

Also called astronomic or geographic meridian.
This line passes through the geographic north and south of the earth and the observer’s position.

Answer 7

True meridian

Question 8

A line of reference parallel to the magnetic lines of force. Magnetic meridian is not parallel to the True meridian. This utilizes the magnetic needle of a compass to locate the magnetic north.

Answer 8

Meridian magnetic

Question 9

fixed line of reference parallel to the central meridian of a system plane rectangular coordinates.

Answer 9

Grid meridian

Question 10

This is an arbitrary chosen reference point taken for convenience. This utilizes a well defined and permanent reference point. Applicable plane surveys of limited extent.

Answer 10

Assumed meridian

Question 11

are control points of permanent location where other surveys are referenced from.

Answer 11

Bureau of Lands Location Monument (BLLM)

Question 12

Data that are portrayed on topographic maps as contour lines and spot elevations.

Answer 12

Elevation

Question 13

Spatial variation in a site’s elevation that have both a gradient and an orientation.

Answer 13

Slopes

Question 14

Slope orientation of the compass direction that the slope faces. It influences microclimate by affecting the amount of solar radiation striking the site.

Answer 14

Aspect

Answer 17

Ridge

Question 18

an elongated depression that forms the space between two ridges.

Answer 18

Valley

Question 19

a landform, such as a knoll, hill, or mountain, which contains the highest point relative to the surrounding terrain

Answer 19

Summit

Question 20

characterized by contour lines that are spaced at increasing distances in the downhill direction.

Answer 20

Concave slopes

Question 21

contour lines are spaces at equal distances. The change in elevation occurs at a constant rate.

Answer 21

Uniform Slope
