Question: What is the distance, in miles between Ithaca and Watertown, NY?First, open your Earth Science Reference Tables to page 3, the GeneralizedBedrock Geology Map......................
Move the card to the key. Be sure to use the “miles” side since that’s whatthe question is asking for. Place one of the red marks on the 0.
Now slide the card along until the blue mark is at 0. Make a note that the distance between your first red mark and the blue mark is 50 miles.
Make another mark at the end of the key (second blue mark) and note thatthe distance between the two blue marks is another 50 miles.
Slide the card over until the second blue mark is on the 0. Note that thedistance between the blue mark and your second red mark is another 10 miles.
Things to remember.......................
1) Read the question carefully. Be sure you know whether you’re measuring miles or kilometers.
3) Be accurate. Make small straight marks and keep track of distances measured at the key.
2) When making the marks at the cities or mountains be sure your line is on the dot representing that city or the triangle representing the mountain.
4) Don’t be lazy. Go back and check your work!
