Topographic##Maps#

Base your answers to questions 51 through 55 on the topographic map shown below. Letters A, B, C, andD represent locations on Earth’s surface. The symbol marks the highest elevation on Patty Hill. Elevationsare shown in feet.

51 What is a possible elevation at the symbol at the top of Patty Hill? [1]

52 Indicate, using a compass direction, the steepest side of Patty Hill. [1]

53 Explain how the shape of the contour lines crossing Blue Creek shows the direction that the creek is flowing. [1]

54 A student placed a floating wooden block in Blue Creek at location A. Fifteen minutes later, the floatingblock arrived at location B. What was the creek’s rate of flow from A to B? Express your answer to the nearest tenth. [1]

55 On the grid in your answer booklet, construct a profile of the land surface along line CD. Plot the elevationof each contour line that crosses line CD. Connect the plots with a line to complete the profile. [1]
