What are the steps to draw a
topographic profile
place a piece of paper between the points
mark where every contour line touches the edge of the paper
determine the elevation of each mark
place the paper on the graph and mark theelevation of each contour line
Using the map and chart below, Using the map and chart below, construct a topographic map profile.construct a topographic map profile.
Please match the contour map on the left with the profile on the right.
The elevation of Albany is 282 feet. The elevation at Binghamton is 1634 feet.
What is the gradient in feet/mile? Show all work.
gradient = change in elevation distance
= 1634-282 115 miles
= 1352 ft 115 miles
= 11.8 ft/mile
The elevation of Watertown is 99m. The elevation at Oswego is 144m.
What is the gradient in m/km? Show all work.
gradient = change in elevation distance
= 144 - 99 75 km
= 45 m 75 km
= 0.6 m/km
Complete the isotherm map above using 10F isotherms.
If the distance between the two
circled cities is 425 km,
what is the temperature gradient?
Show all work.
gradient = change in temperature distance
= 82-48 425
= 34 425
= 0.08 °F/km
