If the scale on a map is 1:100, what would a
field with the following measurements be:
1 foot = 100 ft 10 feet = 1,000 ft 200 feet = 20,000 ft
What is a fan-shaped deposit of earth at the mouth of a stream called? delta
True or false?
In deposition, larger particles take longer
to settle. false
In deposition, smaller particles usually
take longer to settle. true
In deposition, large and small particles
settle at the same time. false
In deposition, sometimes larger particles
take longer to settle, sometimes smaller ones false
The process of wearing away earth materials is called erosion_.
If you want to increase the amount of
erosion and deposition in a stream table experiment, you could either increase
the slope or:
Use more water Use more earth material Make the slope flatter
On a map with a scale of 1 cm: 200 m, you measure 3 cm between the park and the school. The actual distance between the park and the school is 600 m. This is because you take your measurement of 3 cm and apply it to the scale…..3 times 200 = 600 m.
How do you know the highest point on a map?
You follow the contour lines as they increase. The highest point is above the highest contour index line. It is usually marked on a topographic map.
