Explanation / Answer

1. What is the contour interval? ----- 50 ( every contour line have a gap of 50)

2. What is the elevation of Point A? -----750

3. What is the elevation of Point B?------ 700 + 650 / 2 = 675

4. What is the elevation of Point C? ------- 550+600 /2 = 575

5.Which lettered point has the highest elevation? ----- point E has elevation near 1000

6. Which lettered point has the lowest elevation? ----- point C has the lowest elevation

7. (a) Where is the highest elevation shown in this landscape? ------ At rock hill

(b) What is the elevation of this highest location?-------- 1000' ( digit can be changed according to the scale of the map

8. (a) Where is the lowest elevation shown in this landscape? ----- At rush creek

(It may not be a location marked with a letter)

(b) What is the elevation of this lowest location?------ 500'  

( digit can be changed according to the scale of the map

9. What is the "local relief" of this landscape (the difference

in elevation between the highest and lowest locations)?------ 1000 -500 = 500

10. Which lettered point is most clearly on a spur or ridge running down the side of a hill?---- letter C is located at the lowest elevation in all letters then we can say that it will be most clearly on a spur or ridge running down the side of a hill

11. Is it possible to see D from F? ----- no because both points are located in the different direction of the higher elevation point, so we cant see D from F

12. Is it possible to see D from B? ----- yes, first of all, B is located at slightly higher then D and they both are present at the adjacent location.

13. What is the elevation at the bottom of the depression southwest of Pine Hill? ----- 500'

14. How deep is the depression (from the lip of the depression to its bottom)?-------- 100'
