Mercator
Which type of map projection has
both parallel lines of lat.
and long.?
Row 1, Col 1
Pixels
What is a satellite image made up of?
1,2
Area of equal elevation
What does a contour line
represent?
1,3
Hills, lakes, rivers, hiking trails, forest areas
Name 3 features that you
would find on a topographic
map of Newton
1,4
Latitude
The measurement of distance
north and south of the equator
2,1
Global Positioning System/ Uses a number (at least 3) of
satellites that send data to GPS receivers on Earth
What does GPS stand for?
Explain how it works and name
two problems that can disrupt
its communications.
2,2
Elevation
What is a landform’s
height above sea level called?
2,3
Index contours
What are the dark contour lines
on a topographic map?
(hint: usually every 5 line)
2,4
Plateau
Name a landform that
has high elevation and a
flat surface.
3,1
Black-water, red-forests, gray-cities
Name 3 “false” colors that
Landsat satellite use and what
they represent.
3,2
V-shaped contours would point towards the direction it
was flowing from. If the V’s point toward the lake, it
was flowing from/out the lake
How can you tell whether a
stream on a map flows into or
out of a lake?
3,3
Determine the difference in elevation between 2 dark
index contours, then divide that number by number of
contour intervals between the dark lines.
How do you determine the
contour interval on a
topographic map?
3,4
Minute /
What unit of distance is 1/60 of a degree?
Come up to the board and write the
following coordinates correctly
47 degrees and 40 minutes north by
0 degrees and 5 minutes east
4,1
Digitizing
What is the process called
that mapmakers use that
converts the location of map
points to numbers
4,2
Relief
The difference in elevation between
the highest and lowest parts of an
area is called its _______
Name a place in the USA has high
__________
DAILY DOUBLE
4,3
1 inch is equal to 63,360 inches or one mile
If the scale on a map is
1:63,360 what does it mean?
4,4
Name one country in each
of the 4 hemispheres
DAILY DOUBLE
5,1
Communication, weather forecasting, mapping
Name 3 ways we rely on satellites
5,2
Slope / Rise/run usually expressed in ft./mile or m/km
What does the word gradient
mean? How could you find
the gradient of a area on a
topographic map?
5,3

How many degrees of
latitude and longitude are
there in the northern hemisphere?
