  4. Hard 20 Topographic maps have man uses in… -science and engineering -everyday life -all of the above

  5. Answer: Hard 20 All of the above

  6. Hard 30 To locate positions on Earth’s surface, scientists use units called… -pixels -contours -degrees

  7. Answer: Hard 30 Degrees

  8. Hard 40 Topographic maps are usually large-scale maps that show… -all land north or south of the equator -a close-up view of part of Earth’s surface -entire continents

  9. Answer: Hard 40 A close-up view of parts of Earth’s surface

  10. Hard 50 True OR False? The rocky mountains have low relief and high elevation.

  11. Answer: Hard 50 False! The rocky mountains have high relief and high elevation.

  12. Harder 10 Elevation, relief, and slope on a topographic map are shown using symbols called… -pixels -GPS units -contour lines

  13. Answer: Harder 10 Contour Lines

  14. Harder 20 What kind of slope do closely spaced contour lines indicate? -gentle -flat -steep

  15. Answer: Harder 20 Steep

  16. Harder 30 The point on Earth’s surface having zero degrees latitude and zero degrees longitude would be located… -where the equator crosses the prime meridian -at the North Pole -at the South Pole

  17. Answer: Harder 30 Where the equator crosses the prime meridian

  18. Harder 40 True OR False? On a topographic map, steep slopes are indicated by contour lines that are widely spaced?

  19. Answer: Harder 40 False! On a topographic map, steep slopes are indicated by contour lines that are closely spaced?

  20. Harder 50 If one centimeter on a map represents 25,000 centimeters on the ground, the scale of the map is… • 1 : 25,000 • 1 : 250,000 • 1 : 2,500,000

  21. Answer: Harder 50 1 : 25,000

  25. Answer: Very Hard 20 Pixel

  26. Very Hard 30 True OR False? Lines of latitude run from north to south, meeting at the poles.

  27. Answer: Very Hard 30 False! Lines of longituderun from north to south, meeting at the poles.

  28. Very Hard 40 One thing that the equator and prime meridian have in common is that they divide the globe into ____________. -landforms -hemispheres -poles

  29. Answer: Very Hard 40 Hemispheres

  30. Very Hard 50 The _______________ is a satellite-based system that can precisely determine latitude and longitude for points on Earth’s surface. -satellite images -global positioning system (GPS) -map projection
