[1] Base your answers to queshons 39 through 42 on the topographic map below. The map shows a location where a series of students went camping using mountain bicycles on July 1,2003, h.'"; m n \t It i: Parte The planet in the following paragraph is fictional. Use the information in the paragraph and your knowledge of earth science to answer questions 33 through 38. Click is a planet in a solar system very similar to our own. Planet Click is very similar to Earth except for the following differences. Click's axis of rotation has no tilt. It rotates from east to west, approximately twice as fast as Earth. Zelda is a star that is visible duoctly over Click's South Pole and Glotch is a star visible directly over Click's North Pole. A latitudelongitude system such as that on Earth has been estabilished for Click. 33 Why would a plastic relief replica of a continent on Click be considered a model? [1] 34 If planet Click has a hydrosphere, what two chemical elements is it primarily composed of? [1] 35 In relationship to Click's atmosphere and lithosphere, what would be the relative location of its hydrosphere? [1] 36 Where would a majority of Click's most dense substances be located in the planet? [1] 37 At a certain location on Click, the star Zelda is observed at 37 above the horizon. From this mformation, what conclusion can you draw about the latitude and longitude of this location? [2] A Campsite --Bike trail S m i l e s Contour Interval: 20 feet 39 State the evidence shown on the map that indicates that the area directly north of Hidden Lake is relatively flat. [1] 40a State the general compass direction in which the stream is flowing. [1] 40b State how the contour lines provide the evidence for determining this direction. [1] 41 On July 2,2003 the students decided to move dieir campsite 1 mile directly east of their original campsite that is located on the map above. On the map above place another campsite symbol to indicate the location of the July 2 campsite. [1] 42 The students decided to take a route home to avoid riding their bicycles up the steep hill. Plan a route that will take the campers back to point P from their July 2 campsite that will involve the least change in elevation. On the map above draw a line that shows this route. Place arrows on the route line to show the direction that the students will be traveling. [1] Wi 36 Topic 2: Measuring Earth
