4. Landscape: Forms from the interaction of erosional and uplifting forces.

5. Mountain: A large mass of rock that rises above its base.

6. Plain: A level expanse of land, usually devoid of trees.

7. Plateau: An elevated level, expanse of land.

8. Dissected Plateau: An elevated expanse of land broken by a river or canyon.

9. Stream Drainage Pattern: The path of streams/rivers in a watershed.

10. Procedure A: Area Elevation
High Elevation = Red [Mountains]
Middle Elevation = Yellow [Plateaus]
Low Elevation = Green [Lowlands/Plain]
Color AND label map on page 126 using page 2 of your ESRT as a guide

MEDIUM
LOW

12. Procedure B: Surface Drainage Systems
Trace and label watersheds listed on page 124 on Map 2 on page 126 using page 3 of your ESRT as a guide.

14. Procedure C: Geographic Ages and Bedrock Geology
Use page 3 of your ESRT to list the age and type of bedrock at each specified location.
For example: High/mountain elevations are:
Age: Middle Proterzoic
Type: Intensely Metamorphic
