Topographic Maps And Erosional Features
Test Description: 8.9C Interpret topographic maps and satellite views to identify land and erosion features and predict how these features may be reshaped by weathering
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) On a topographic map, a series of closed lines forming concentric circles would represent which of the following land features?
A
road
B
river
C
hill
D
valley
2) A hiker planning a trip up a mountain might want to select the side with the easiest hike. When looking at a topographic map, what would indicate the part of the mountain that would provide the easiest path for the hiker to take?
A
LArge elevation numbers
B
Many closed, concentric rings
C
Several streams nearby
D
Contour lines spaced far apart
3) All of the following are major agents of weathering and erosion EXCEPT --
A
inertia
B
ice
C
water
D
wind
4) All of the following land features can be represented by topographic maps except --
A
valleys
B
rivers
C
clouds
D
hill
5) How do contour lines tells us about the steepness of the slope?
A
the closer spaced the lines the steeper the slope
B
the closer spaced the lines the more gentle the slope
C
when the lines intersect or overlap the slope is steep
D
when the lines form a v-shape, the slope is more gentle
6) In what direction do V-shaped contour lines point?
A
north
B
downhill
C
downstream
D
upstream
7) How could a scientist use a series of topographical maps to find evidence of erosion?
A
compare the maps with maps of rainfall totals
B
compare the maps for changes in the contour lines
C
use the maps to look for evidence of water
D
use the maps to locate roads in the area
8) How can satellite views be used in studying the effect of global warming on a glacier?
A
to determine the age of the glacier
B
to measure the amount of debris on the glacier
C
to determine the clarity of the water downstream
D
to measure how far the glacier recedes
9) How could a satellite view be used to see if building a dam on a river blocks sediment from traveling downstream?
A
to observe how the river delta changes over time
B
to observe the location of the dam
C
to measure the time it takes to travel to the mouth of the river
D
to measure the depth of the river without sediment
10) How can a scientist predict what will occur to the rice fields that usually flood during a drought?
A
study historical weather data and crop yields
B
study topographic maps of the area
C
study satellite views of corn fields experiencing drought
D
study satellite views of the area during the past times of drought.
