Answer to Question 1: $100Answer to Question 1: $100

Answer to Question 1: $200Answer to Question 1: $200

• A model is a 3-D representation of something where as a map is a 2-D representation of something.

Answer to Question 1: $300Answer to Question 1: $300

• They both help people to understand or learn more about the real thing.

Answer to Question 1: $400Answer to Question 1: $400

• A model, because you can witness the events that lead up to its eruption, but on a map you would just see a flat drawing.

Answer to Question 2: $100Answer to Question 2: $100

B. delta

Answer to Question 2: $200Answer to Question 2: $200

• C. erosion

Answer to Question 2: $300Answer to Question 2: $300

• C. Smaller particles take the longest to settle. (larger particles generally weigh more and will settle rather quickly)

• ** Be aware of answers that contradict each other, answers that are combined, or answers that say “always” or “never”

Answer to Question 2: $400Answer to Question 2: $400

• Disagree. Deposition and erosion both cause changes in landforms. Erosion is the wearing away of material. For example, the Colorado River created the Grand Canyon through the process of erosion. Deposition is the relocating of material. For example, a delta is formed at the mouth of a river because of deposition. Or a volcano becomes taller because of the deposition of lava after it erupts.

Answer to Question 3: $100Answer to Question 3: $100

• A valley

Answer to Question 3: $200Answer to Question 3: $200

• A plateau

Answer to Question 3: $300Answer to Question 3: $300

• Its mouth

Answer to Question 3: $400Answer to Question 3: $400

• plain

Answer to Question 4: $100Answer to Question 4: $100

• A. use more water (it would be like a flood)

Answer to Question 4: $200Answer to Question 4: $200

• Symbols used represent real life objects

• It is neatly drawn

• It represents a bird’s-eye view

• Contains a clearly labeled key

Answer to Question 4: $300Answer to Question 4: $300

D. 5000 mRationale:1 cm = 1000 m, so if you have 5 cm, that

would be 1000 m (= 1 cm) 1000 m (= 1 cm) and so on 1000 m 1000 m

+ 1000 m 5000 m

Answer to Question 4: $400Answer to Question 4: $400

• A map that shows the elevation of a particular landform

Answer to Question 5: $100Answer to Question 5: $100

• The closer the contour lines, the steeper the slope (the greater the elevation)

Answer to Question 5: $200Answer to Question 5: $200

• The highest point is called the peak. The lowest point is called the base.

Answer to Question 5: $300Answer to Question 5: $300

• Contour interval

Answer to Question 5: $400Answer to Question 5: $400

• The plus signs would represent the chairs, and the long rectangle would represent the table. Maps often use symbols that resemble the real life object.
