  2. Gradient • The rate of change in field values between 2 points in a field • field can be elevation, temperature, pressure, etc • (Also known as slope) • Gradient = change in field value distance ESRT Page 1

  3. EXAMPLE Determine the gradient of a road where the top has an elevation of 1500 ft and the bottom has an elevation of 800 ft. The length of the road is 50 miles. Gradient = change in field value distance 1500ft – 800 ft Gradient = 50 mi 700 ft50 mi Gradient = 14 ft/mi =

  4. Mt. Scott • Time: 3 hours • Length: 2.5 miles one way • Elevation: 7,450 to 8,929 feet • Gradient = 8929 – 7450 feet 2.5 miles • = 591.6 ft/mi • Difficulty: Strenuous
