The document provides information about reading maps, including the components of topographic maps such as contour lines and UTM grids. It explains that contour lines represent elevation, with closer lines indicating steeper slopes. The UTM grid allows users to accurately plot points on a map and locate positions using easting and northing numbers. Determining coordinates involves finding the easting first by moving left to right across the map, then finding the northing by moving up the map.

This document discusses different types of charts and graphs used to summarize and visualize data, including boxplots, stem-and-leaf plots, histograms, pie charts, and the concept of standard deviation. Boxplots can compare sets of data, such as home runs hit by Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds. Stem-and-leaf plots separate each observation into a stem and leaf for a quick picture of the data distribution. Histograms use rectangles to show the frequency of a variable, such as test scores. Pie charts show the relationship of each category to the whole. Standard deviation measures how far observations are from the mean, and is helpful for understanding SAT scores.

Big Two Map
The document compares two maps that depict crop acreage percentages by county in the United States. A choropleth map on the left uses color-coded counties to show percentages, with darker colors representing higher densities. An isarithmic contour map on the right does not show county boundaries and instead uses contour lines to connect areas of equal crop density, represented by color. While both maps show the same data, the contour map provides a clearer and more memorable visualization by making the continuous data easier to understand across large areas like regions.
Slope and triangles edmodo
Similar triangles have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. The corresponding angles of similar triangles are congruent and their corresponding sides are in proportion. Slope is a property of lines that is the same between any two points on a non-vertical line, and can be found using similar right triangles. Slope is defined as the vertical change over the horizontal change between two points on a line.

It begins with Babur founding the empire by defeating Ibrahim Lodi in the Battle of Panipat in 1526. The empire reached its peak during the rule of Akbar the Great from 1556 to 1605, who expanded Mughal control across most of India and promoted religious tolerance. Shah Jahan's rule from 1627 to 1658 saw the construction of iconic buildings like the Taj Mahal. Aurangzeb's rule from 1658 to 1707 marked the beginning of decline as he reversed religious tolerance policies. The rebellion of 1857 marked the end of Mughal rule in India and the

Introduction Topograpbic maps illustrate scale, width, length, and height of landforms. Geologic
maps show the distribution of different rock units and geologic features, such as faults, at the
surface of the Earth. In this lab you will become familiar with both types of maps which are
important tools for anyone studying the earth or its resources. Learning Outcomes - Explain how
contours are used to show elevation information and landforms on a map. (questions 13) -
Understand and explain different types of map scale, such as fractional scale and bar scale.
(questions 4-5) - Explain how latitude and longitude are used to describe location. (questions 6-8)
- Draw and use contours to visualize spatial data (such as spot elevations). (question 9) - Find the
latitude and longitude of a location on a map. (questions 10, 17, 18) - Read elevation data and
interpret contours on a topographic map.(questions 11, 12, 19) - Calculate elevation change and
gradient (slope) from topographic maps.(questions 13, 21) - Read distances on a map using a

geologic cross section using locations of contacts and angles of dip on a geologic map (questions
28-30) - Identify types of folds or faults on a geologic cross section (questions 28-30) Map
Coordinate Systems A coordinate system allows us to describe the location of any point on the
surface of the Earth. Lines of latitude (also known as parallels) are the horizontal lines that circle
the globe. These lines are known as parallels because the run in the same direction as (are
parallel to) the Equator. The Equator is the imaginary line located at 0 latitude and is halfway
between the North Pole and the South Pole, which are 180 apart. This means the South Pole is 90
S and the North Pole is 90N. Lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole are lines of
longitude (also known as meridians). The line at 0 longitude is the prime meridian and runs
through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. Meridians are counted east and west from
the prime meridian up to a maximum of 180 longitude at the.
Seminar
This document discusses the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. It explains that the UTM system divides the Earth into 60 zones, each being a six-degree band of longitude, and uses a secant transverse Mercator projection in each zone. It also defines important terms related to map projections like longitude, latitude, northing, easting, and coordinate systems. In particular, it notes that the UTM system uses a 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system to give locations on Earth's surface independently of vertical position.
Orienteering
Orienteering is an outdoor sport that involves navigating through unfamiliar terrain using a map and compass. It originated in Scandinavia in the late 1800s and came to the US in the 1940s. The goal is to navigate between control points of varying distances, from less than a mile to over 4 miles.

Topographic maps presentation_mine
Topographic maps use contour lines to represent elevation and slope of land. Contour lines connect points of equal elevation and never cross. Closer lines indicate steeper slopes while widely spaced lines show more gentle slopes. Index contours are bold lines labeled with the elevation. A benchmark is a point of known exact elevation marked as B.M. on maps. Map scale relates distances on a map to actual distances on land and can be ratio, graphical, or verbal.
Contouring
This document discusses contouring in surveying. It defines key terms like contour, contour line, and contour interval. It explains direct and indirect methods of contour surveying, including taking levels and establishing horizontal controls. It describes drawing contours and characteristics of contour maps, such as contours never intersecting except in cases of overhanging cliffs or vertical cliffs. Common contour line types are defined, like isobars and isotherms. Topographic maps and how to make a cross-section from a map are also summarized.
Maps-and-map-interpretation.docx
This document provides an introduction to map interpretation and sketching for level 1 students. It covers basic map elements like titles, scales, legends, and contours. It describes different map types such as topographic maps and thematic maps. Topographic maps show elevation using contour lines, which represent points of equal height. The spacing of contour lines indicates steep or gentle slopes. Common features like valleys, ridges, hills and depressions are identified by the shape and direction of contour lines. The document is intended to teach students how to interpret maps and understand topographic information.
Chapter 3 gateway 123
This chapter discusses key geographical skills like map reading, interpreting data representations, and conducting fieldwork investigations. It covers topics such as reading grid references, compass directions, scales, measuring distances, interpreting reliefs and landforms on maps, and analyzing photographs and satellite images. Various types of graphs like line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts, and climographs are introduced to represent geographical data. The three phases of fieldwork - pre-fieldwork, during fieldwork, and post-fieldwork - are also outlined.
Topo maps
Topographic maps use contour lines to represent the shape and elevation of land. Contour lines connect points of equal elevation and never touch or cross. Closely spaced lines indicate steep slopes, while widely spaced lines show gentle slopes. A contour interval is the elevation difference between lines. Topographic maps also use colors, symbols and labels to depict features like water, vegetation and man-made objects. Benchmarks provide exact elevation references and are marked on maps with their altitude in feet.
Earths dimension sci 8 ppt np1
This document provides information about Earth's spheres and mapping locations on Earth. It discusses the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. It describes latitude and longitude and how they are used in a coordinate system to locate positions on Earth. It also covers topics like time zones, topographic maps, and drawing contour lines.
06_chapter 7 topographic surveying.pdf
Topographic surveying involves determining the positions and elevations of natural and artificial landscape features to represent them on a topographic map. The process has three main parts: establishing horizontal and vertical control points; locating contours; and locating details like rivers, roads, buildings. Contours are imaginary lines connecting points of equal elevation, with the difference in height between contours indicated by the contour interval. Contours can be obtained directly via leveling or indirectly by interpolating spot heights. Mathematical interpolation uses proportional calculations between spot heights to determine contour locations on a map.
Cartography Unit_ 3.pptx
This document provides information on map projections. It defines map projection as a systematic transformation of locations on Earth onto a plane. It discusses the three main types of projections: planar, cylindrical, and conic. Planar projections center on a point and are accurate near the center, cylindrical projections are rolled onto a cylinder and accurate along the equator, and conic projections use a cone and are suited to limited east-west areas near the equator. It also discusses properties like shape, area, direction, and distance distortions that occur in projections and notes no projection is perfect. Common projections like Mercator, UTM, and Robinson are described.
Toposheet indexing .
The document discusses how topographic maps in India are organized and identified using a hierarchical system of map sheets with different scales. Topographic maps are divided into million sheet sections at 1:1,000,000 scale, degree sheets at 1:250,000 scale, toposheets at 1:50,000 scale, and further subdivided toposheets at 1:25,000 scale that are identified by letters and numbers corresponding to their location and scale. This system allows precise identification of location for any place shown on topographic maps in India.

This document provides an overview of maps and map elements. It discusses the different types of maps including general purpose maps, thematic maps, and topographic maps. It describes the basic elements of maps such as titles, scales, legends, and directions. Contour lines and how to read elevation and slope from topographic maps are explained in detail. The purpose and uses of contour maps for engineering projects are also summarized.
MAP PROJECTION
This document discusses different types of map projections used to represent the spherical Earth on a flat surface. It describes cylindrical, conic, and azimuthal projections. Cylindrical projections have straight, perpendicular lines of longitude and latitude and include the Mercator projection. Conic projections are fan-shaped and have minimal distortion along a central line. Azimuthal projections radiate from a central point and preserve directions from that point. The document provides examples like the Robinson, Polyconic, and Lambert azimuthal equal area projections. It concludes that the selection of map projection depends on the map's intended purpose.

- 2. Reading a Map ● Reading a map is similar to any literacy. Practice is needed and context is essential. ● A map can’t tell where you are going, but only where you are. ● Like the Compass, the ability to read a map starts with the components of a map. ● A typical topographic map consists of contour lines, UTM grid, a key showing landmarks such as forests, rivers, bridges, etc and has a scale of 1: 50,000. (1cm=50km) ● Maps are two-dimensional, however they are representations of the three- dimensional world.
- 4. Elevation and Contour Lines ● An essential map reading skill is translating contour lines into hills, slopes, mountains and valleys. ● Contour Lines: Elevation denoted by brown lines. Contour lines that are spaced closely together mean a steep slope, whereas contour lines farther apart means less steepness. ● Contour elevation is denoted in the margin on the map and tells how much elevation is gained between contour lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AbYFHuQmeI
- 5. UTM Grid ● Allows user to plot points on a map easily and accurate. ● Allows participants to go from a big picture to a small picture from somewhere in the real world in a coordinated system. ● Easting is the number that tells the position from east to west. (Right to Left) ● Northing is the number that tells the position north to south. (Up to Down) ● Each block of the UTM grid represents 1 square kilometer with each line segment equaling 1 kilometer.
- 6. Determining UTM Coordinates ● UTM’s are six-figure numbers with the first three representing easting and the second three representing northing. ● When determining UTM coordinates it is important to remember the phrase: “Going in the house, then up the stairs.” Meaning that you go horizontally across the map first (easting), then vertically up the map second. (northing) ● For example, the number 284706. The three digit number 284 would represent Easting in the 28th grid line and about 4 tenths. The three digit number 706 would represent Northing in the 70th gridline and about 6 tenths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS85b10Ib6Q
