West Early (if you cross the International Date Line West it’s the next day)
E L
East Later (if you cross the International Date Line East it’s the day before)

18
Q

time zones

A

the Earth has 24 time zones

19
Q

width of time zones

20
Q

u.s.a. Time zone

A

has four time zones
eastern time zone
Central Time Zone
Mountain Time Zone
Pacific time zone

21
Q

Contour ( ISOlines)

A

lines connecting two points of equal value

22
Q

contour lines

A

ISOlines that have elevation

23
Q

elevation

A

the action or fact of elevating or elevated

24
Q

isothermic

A

ISOlines on a map that are based on weather

25
approximate measurements of isolines
for example if the contour interval is 20 and the point is in between 20 and 40 it has to be in between(21-39) those numbers because it is not on a line
26
topographic map
most often models of areas of the Earth showing elevation
27
benchmarker
points on a topographic map that have the specific elevation.
28
Contour index lines
most often dark lines with numbers with elevation
29
contour interval
the difference between the contour lines
30
what contour lines look like on a hill
1.the closer spaced contour lines indicate = a steep slope 2. The Wider the space between the contour lines indicate = gentle slope 3.the evenly spaced contour lines indicate = uniform slope
31
laws of V
contour lines with River attached to them always bend up strain. the contour lines usually follow the river pointing in V to determine the direction of the river you flip the V upside down to get the direction
32
depression lines
contour lines that near depressions without Outlets are shown by closed hachured Contours, where the first hachured Contour is equal to the elevation of the line before.
33
the top of a topographic map
North
34
verbal scale
equates 2 different units
35
profile
side view of a landscape
36
gradient ( slope)
rate of change for field value between two locations essentially slope with rise over run but has units
37
gradient formula
change in field value( rise) over distance( run)
38
gradient units
the USA uses miles over feet well everywhere else uses m / km
39
magnetic deviation
the comparison from true north
40
connecting lines on a contour map
when connecting lines on a contour map a few key things to do 1.go off the map 2.make sure each of your lines is in between a number that is bigger than the interval and smaller than the interval 3.all numbers inside your interval should have a value of itself
