1. With aerial view, a clear indication is how large the Corn Palace is. 2. The route chosen takes the least amount of time to get to Wall, SD. 3. 3 hours and 9 minutes, 222 miles. 4. 2,594 ft. 5. With the terrain modeling, it helps give us a better (more realistic) image of the depths within the Badlands. 6. My MacBook would not allow me to save the JPG file anywhere. Until I figure this out, I have taken a screenshot. This graphic would not contain any spatial reference for measurements due to the fact that is it not supposed to be an exact measurement. 7. Approximately 1,410.18 feet. 8. The view of Mount Rushmore is a satellite photo; therefore, the presidents’ faces will not be seen since it is not an actual image. 9. 43.522801, 103.270812 10.

1500 Lab 1 Introduction to Geospatial Concepts and Google Earth I have provided this answer sheet the first week, for future labs please complete the lab assignments by typing your answers into a Word document and save it with the file name of YourLastName_1500_Lab#. For future labs you don’t need to type out the questions, but please include the question number before your answers. Question 1: By being able to view the Corn Palace from above and from standing on the ground in front of it, what details from the aerial view can help identify just what the building is? (You may need to switch back and forth between the aerial view and the street view to answer this question.) Question 2: By viewing the expanse of South Dakota between Mitchell and Wall, there are many possible roads between the two. Why do you suppose GEP chose this particular path to go from the Corn Palace to Wall Drug? Question 3: Based on the route that GEP calculated, what is the driving distance (and approximate time equivalent) to get from the Corn Palace to Wall Drug? Question 4: What is the elevation for this particular overlook in Badlands National Park? Question 5: How does the terrain modeling (with the tilt function) aid in the visualization of the Badlands? Question 6: Add your map image to your lab answers document or upload it as a separate file to the Lab 1 D2L dropbox. Question 7: What is the measured distance between the rear of the amphitheater and the top of the memorial (keep in mind this is the ground distance, not a straight line between the two points)? Question 8: Even with Terrain turned on and the view switching over to a perspective, why can’t the presidents’ faces on the side of the memorial be seen? Question 9: What are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the entrance to the Mount Rushmore parking area? Question 10: What is located at the following geographic coordinates: latitude 43.836584, longitude - 103.623403? Question 11: What is located at the following geographic coordinates: latitude 43.845709, longitude - 103.563499?
