•1. You are going on a hike in the Rocky Mountains. You want to see how far two peaks are apart. The scale on your map reads 1:10000 and you measure 8cm on your map. How far apart are the peaks in km?
8cm x 10,000 = 80,000cm 80,000cm x 1m/100cm x 1km/1000m = .8km
8cm x 10,000 = 80,000cm 80,000cm x 1m/100cm x 1km/1000m = .8km
•2. To hike to the top of the first peak you would travel from 1000m in elevation to a peak height of 12,500m over 5km. What is the relief of the journey and what is the slope of the hike?
12,500-1000 = 11,500m relief
slope = 11,500m/ 5000m = 2.3 slope
Today in class we:
Discussed latitude and longitude, practiced plotting points on a grid system
Homework:
Mapping the world activity
Study Chapter 1 Sections 1 and 2 for quiz on Tuesday
