1. DO NOW Which way do lines of longitude run?
What direction do lines of latitude measure?
What point is located at 20 S 100 E?
What point is located at 60 S 40 W?
What are the coordinates of point F?
What line is letter B on?

2. Topographic Map of Angel Island

3. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
A two-dimensional way of showing a three-dimensional image of Earth’s elevations
Topographic maps show elevation.

5. ELEVATION
Elevation is how high something is above sea level.

6. lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal elevation
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
CONTOUR LINES
lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal elevation
(meaning if you physically followed a contour line, elevation would remain constant.)

7. CONTOUR LINES
Contour Line

8. ACTIVITY #1

9. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
CONTOUR INTERVAL
The change in elevation between two adjacent (side by side) contour lines

10. CONTOUR INTERVAL To determine contour interval:
Pick one contour line, and determine its elevation.
Determine the elevation of the next contour line.
Subtract the lower elevation from the higher elevation.

11. What is the Contour Interval?
( ) =
25 feet

12. RELIEF Variations in elevation
TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
RELIEF Variations in elevation

13. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
DIFFERENCE =
RELIEF

14. Relief = higher elevation – lower elevation
CONTOUR INTERVAL
Relief = higher elevation – lower elevation

15. RELIEF
Difference =
RELIEF = 75

16. ACTIVITY #2

17. The incline or steepness of a hill.
SLOPE
The incline or steepness of a hill.

18. Slope is Steep
Slope is gentle

26. Create a 3D Topographic Map of Angel Island

27. LAB ROLES *Change in roles = working in pairs* Share responsibilities
The paper cutter & play-doh stacker!
The Play- Doh Roller!
The Play-Doh Cutter!

28. PROCEDURE
Cut out map (1/4 sheet) at lowest contour line. (paper cutter)
Roll out play doh into thin sheet (play doh roller)
Place topographic map over play doh. (play doh cutter)
Use paper clip to cut play dough at edges of map (play doh cutter/stacker)
Remove this piece of play dough and set aside (play doh cutter/stacker).
Each piece will be stacked on top of the previous piece.
Cut topographic map at next lowest contour line ( paper cutter).
Re-roll play doh (play doh roller)
Repeat steps 3-7 until you have completed Angel Island!

29. After you are completed with making 3D Model...
Complete Analysis & Conclusion on for 3D Lab
When finished- Raise your hand
Mr. Lambert will come over and check your lab for completion.
Then Mr. Lambert will give you the homework worksheet that you need to begin immediately- do not waste class time

30. Exit Ticket
