Study the topographic map above and answer the following questions. 1) What is the contour interval on this map? 2) What is the elevation at point Q? 3) What is the elevation at point P? 4) What do the contour lines do as they cross over the stream? 5) In which direction is the Stream flowing? 6) What is the elevation of the campsite and lake? 7) Is the campsite area flat or steep?
8) If you do decide to bike from point P to point Q along the trail (dashed line), what sort of topography would you encounter? Describe. 9) What is the elevation at the top of the hill? 10) If you do decide to walk the P-Q path, how much elevation would you climb? 11) How many hills are located on this map? 12) Calculate the slope (gradient) in degrees along the line connecting points A and B. In the space below, show your work and mention units. 13) In the gray field located at the top left of the topographic map, you've encountered some exposed sedimentary layers. You've measured the strike and dip angle of the bedding plane as N45°E and 28° SE, respectively. Now show the bedding attitude in the gray area using the standard notation of strike and dip. 14) On the grid below, draw a profile of the landscape along the bicycle trail from point P to point Q, connect the dots to complete the profile.
