18
Q

time zones

A

the Earth has 24 time zones

19
Q

width of time zones

A

15 degrees

20
Q

u.s.a. Time zone

A

has four time zones
eastern time zone
Central Time Zone
Mountain Time Zone
Pacific time zone

21
Q

Contour ( ISOlines)

A

lines connecting two points of equal value

22
Q

contour lines

A

ISOlines that have elevation

23
Q

elevation

A

the action or fact of elevating or elevated

24
Q

isothermic

A

ISOlines on a map that are based on weather

25
Q

approximate measurements of isolines

A

for example if the contour interval is 20 and the point is in between 20 and 40 it has to be in between(21-39) those numbers because it is not on a line

26
Q

topographic map

A

most often models of areas of the Earth showing elevation

27
Q

benchmarker

A

points on a topographic map that have the specific elevation.

28
Q

Contour index lines

A

most often dark lines with numbers with elevation

29
Q

contour interval

A

the difference between the contour lines

30
Q

what contour lines look like on a hill

A

1.the closer spaced contour lines indicate = a steep slope
2. The Wider the space between the contour lines indicate = gentle slope
3.the evenly spaced contour lines indicate = uniform slope

31
Q

laws of V

A

contour lines with River attached to them always bend up strain. the contour lines usually follow the river pointing in V to determine the direction of the river you flip the V upside down to get the direction

32
Q

depression lines

A

contour lines that near depressions without Outlets are shown by closed hachured Contours, where the first hachured Contour is equal to the elevation of the line before.

33
Q

the top of a topographic map

A

North

34
Q

verbal scale

A

equates 2 different units

35
Q

profile

A

side view of a landscape

36
Q

gradient ( slope)

A

rate of change for field value between two locations
essentially slope with rise over run but has units

37
Q

gradient formula

A

change in field value( rise) over distance( run)

38
Q

gradient units

A

the USA uses miles over feet well everywhere else uses m / km

39
Q

magnetic deviation

A

the comparison from true north

40
Q

connecting lines on a contour map

A

when connecting lines on a contour map a few key things to do
1.go off the map
2.make sure each of your lines is in between a number that is bigger than the interval and smaller than the interval
3.all numbers inside your interval should have a value of itself

41
Q

diagram models

A
