1 Chapter 2 Mapping Our World Picture: Mount Capulin, Raton, NM Cinder Cone Volcano ://3.bp.blogspot.com/_sKz1KwXRzcg/SzFzM52gIoI/AAAAAAAAABk/hguBAT80pk0/s320/capulin.jpg ES Ch 2 Mapping 1 Objectives-Student Friendly 1. Compare and contrast latitude and longitude. This means that: A. I can describe the differences between latitude and longitude according to i. Their point of references (name of their respective 0 o line) ii. The direction they run around the earth iii. Relationship between lines: parallel, converging, iv. Whether they are labeled N vs. S, or E vs. W B. I can compare their similarities, including how each degree is broken down into smaller units C. I know the latitude or longitude of key areas of the earth including the Equator, North Pole, South Pole, Prime Meridian, International Date Line, tropic of Cancer (23.5N), Tropic of Capricorn (23.5S). 2. If given the latitudes and longitudes I can: A. Determine which of 2 cities is farthest IN DEGREES from the Equator, Prime Meridian, or International Date Line. B. Calculate the distance further north or south (in KILOMETERS) one city is compared to another. Because 1 o latitude = km. C. Use a map to pinpoint and identify the location. ES Ch 2 Mapping 2 Objectives-Student Friendly cont d 3. Analyze & create topographic maps. This means that I can: A. Describe the use of and identify the following on a topographical map: contour line, contour interval, index contour, hachure, depression contour. B. Determine whether an area is flat vs. hilly using a contour map, based on the spacing between contour lines.. C. Create 3D versions of real topographic map, and vice versa create a 2D topographic map from 3D terrain. D. Calculate the gradient between 2 given points. E. Calculate the contour interval of a given map. 4. Define watershed and describe how to tell where the boundaries are. Understand how runoff affects our water quality. The Importance of Map Reading Skills!! Video: Oh, oh! What could happen if you can t read a map?? ES Ch 2 Mapping 3 ES Ch 2 Mapping 4 Overview of Latitude & Longitude Lines Latitude: Battleship with Latitude and Longitude 1. Battleship is a game for two players where you try to guess the location of five ships your opponent has hidden on a grid. Players take turns calling out a row and column, attempting to name a square containing enemy ships. 1. Tie to Latitude & Longitude? You will be placing your ships and sinking your enemy ships on coordinates similar to latitude and longitude coordinates. Longitude: 2. Goal of game : To sink all of your opponent's ships by correctly guessing their location. ES Ch 2 Mapping 5 3. Goal for unit: Learn how latitude lines are LABELLED north & south of equator, while longitude lines are LABELLED east & west of the Prime Meridian. ES Ch 2 Mapping 6 ES Ch 2 Mapping 1
2 South North 1. Put your ships onto line CORNERS, NOT inside the squares. 2. On your turn, call out a number and a letter of a row and a column on the grid. Rules A. NOTE***Always read the North/South Number and then the East/West number (e.g. 15 N 30 E). If you read the incorrect format (e.g 15 E 30 N or N) your opponent can call "misfire". You get one chance to repeat the correct coordinates. 3. Your opponent checks that space on their lower grid, and says "miss" if there are no ships there, or "hit" if you guessed a space that contained a ship. 4. Mark your shots on your upper grid, with X s for misses and large red circles for hits, to track your guesses. 5. When one of your ships is hit, place a red circle on your lower grid at the location of the hit. 6. When one of your ships has all of its points marked in red, you must announce to your opponent that he has sunk your ship. ES Ch 2 Mapping E 180 W Battleship Map Put your SHIPS HERE WEST EAST 120 W 90 W 60 W 30 W 0 30 E 60 E 90 E 120 E 150 E N 75 N 60 N 60 N 45 N 45 N 30 N 30 N 15 N 15 N S 15 S 30 S 30 S 45 S 45 S 60 S 60 S 75 S 75 S W 120 W 90 W 60 W 30 W 0 30 E 60 E 90 E 120 E 150 E 180 ES Ch 2 Mapping 8 Latitude Latitude: Distance in degrees N or S of the equator (0 90 o N or S) 1. Latitude lines are like A. Fatitude - like a belt running around the earth. RUNNING/DRAWN East to West. B. Ladder on the Earth & are LABELLED North & South of the equator Latitude - Continued 3. Equator = 0 o 4. Poles = 90 o N or S o N = Tropic of Cancer o S = Tropic of Capricorn 7. 1 o latitude is about 111 km (68 miles) on Earth s surface 8. Each degree divided into 60 minutes (60 ) 9. Each minute is divided into seconds ( ) 2. Parallel ES Ch 2 Mapping 9 as/newart/imagee.gif ES Ch 2 Mapping 10 Longitude Longitude: Distance in degrees E or W of the prime meridian 1.

Detailed maps showing Earth s surface features: hills, valleys, rivers, forests, bridges 2. Contour lines connect points of equal elevation A. Contour lines never cross? Why? B.

4 Topo Maps, Cont d D. Depression Contour Lines: Hachures, short lines at right angles to the contour lines, point toward lower elevations and indicate depressions i. Used for volcanic craters, etc. 3.Gradient: Calculation showing the steepness of a slope A. Change in elevation = Gradient Change in distance B.Example: If you climbed a mountain trail that was 2 miles long from the base camp at an elevation of 7500ft to its Peak at 11500ft, what is the trail s gradient? Answer: 11500ft 7500ft = 4000ft = Gradient of 2000ft/mi 2 miles 2miles Match Topo Map to Side View Various Land Form Examples Match Side View to Map Side View D has gradients of 70m/km and 20m/km. Which side has the gradient of 70m/km? How did you decide? What is gradient if FLAT? ES Ch 2 Mapping 19 ES Ch 2 Mapping 20 Example Map If the contour interval is 20 feet, what is the elevation of lines A? B? C? D? E? F? G? 2. Which side of the hill with the depression at the top is steeper? Left, lines are closer together 3. What is the elevation of the index contour? Gradient Problem #1 The distance from Point G to Point H on a map is 9.6cm. The scale on the map says that 1 mile = 3 cm. Write an equation using a conversion factor to determine how many miles apart the two points are. Show your work. Include units on your conversion factor and your answer. 9.6cm x 1 mile = 1 3 cm The elevation of Point G is 625 feet, while the elevation of Point H is 433 feet. Combining this information with the distance calculated above, determine the gradient between Point G & Point H. Show your work. Label your work and your answer with units. 625 feet feet = 3.2 miles 9.6 miles feet 3.2 miles = 3.2 miles = 60ft/mile ES Ch 2 Mapping 21 ES Ch 2 Mapping 22 Gradient Problem #2 Calculate the gradient from Point C to Point D through the following steps.

5 Crumpled Paper Watershed Lab Formative Assessment 1. Choose the best description for the watershed of a stream: A. The water of a stream and all the tributaries that feed into it, including wetlands B. All the land that slopes toward the stream and drains rain and melting snow into the stream C. A large wet area of land that completely surrounds the stream. What is a Watershed? 1. Watershed = All the land that drains into a stream, river, lake or ocean. 2. Runoff = Extra rainfall or snowmelt that cannot be absorbed by soil and vegetation and runs off the land into a body of water. 2. You are hiking along a trail in a hilly countryside. You know that you have reached the watershed of a different stream because: A. The ground changes from soggy soil to dry forest B. You can see another stream C. You are standing on a high spot and the land starts to slope downward again. ES Ch 2 Mapping 25 ES Ch 2 Mapping 26 Watershed Boundary 3. The boundary of a watershed is the ridgeline of high land surrounding it, like the edge of a bowl. Drainage Basin = Another term for watershed Human Effects on Watershed Runoff carries whatever is on the land, causing pollution of bodies of water. Examples: 1. Bacteria & manure from farms & human sewage 2. Chemicals: fertilizers, etc. from farms and city 3. Soil (dirt) from fields & city construction sites 4. Oil from cars & factories es.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/3/0b/30b be a664- ea518ed9e356/51734da0c8f5e.image.jpg m?id= ES Ch 2 Mapping 27 THINK ABOUT THIS the next time you swim or boat in Duck Creek or the Mississippi!! 14&t= ES Ch 2 Mapping 28 Worksheet Topography #2 If you were walking along the path (line) on the map, what would the terrain be doing? We will convert the topographic map to a side view by plotting the elevation every time we step on a contour line as we walk along the path. Did the resulting side view match the terrain you thought you d be walking? Practice Map YOU Draw Side View/Silhouette 1. Put an S on the location that is the Steepest in the diagram above.
