8.9C Topographic Maps and Erosional Features

A topographic map is provided. In which direction is the river flowing?

A topographic map depicting a river flowing over land is provided. The river represented by the topographic map is flowing in which direction?

A topographic map is provided. In which direction is the river flowing?

A picture of a satellite image with a river flowing over land is provided. The river is flowing towards the –

The illustration here represents a satellite image of a river. In which direction is the river heading?

The illustration here represents a satellite image of a mountain region. What is the agent of erosion pictured here?

A topographic map is provided. A geologist wants to predict flow rates of the river coming down the mountain in the topographic map. What is the approximate drop in elevation between point X and point Y?

Provided are satellite photos from two different years of the same beach. The point of sand, indicated with an arrow, has shifted due to wave action. If similar rates of erosion and deposition occur, where would be the logical place to expect the point of sand to be located by 2015?

On a topographic map, a series of closed lines forming concentric circles would represent which of the following land features?

A river is running through the region represented by the topographic map shown here. In which portion of the river will the water be flowing fastest?

A topographic map of a region is provided. Which position indicated by the letters is at an elevation of 480 meters?

A river and four of its tributaries are identified by the satellite image pictured here. Which of the tributaries is flowing towards the south?

A topographic map is provided. The highest peak represented by the topographic map can be found in which quadrant?

If the greatest erosion on a mountain will occur where the slope is the steepest, one could locate this portion of a mountain on a topographic map by looking for the area where the topographic lines -
