Chapter 1 Maps Freeman Environmental Geology Lab
Book (2nd Ed.)
1. Q 1.7 What is the latitude at (A) the north pole? (B) The
south pole?: 90*N
and 90*S
2. Q 1.8 What do you imagine is the maximum longitude
value on earth?: 180*
(180*W or 180*E. They are equal)
3. Q 1.10 Given a scale of 1:24,000: (A) What is the ground
distance in feet
represented by three inches on the map? (B) What is the
ground distance in
meters represented by 5 cm on the map? (C) How about the
ground distance
in kilometers represented by 5 cm on the map?: A 6,000
B 1,200
C 1.2
4. Q 1.11 What happens to the usefulness of (A) the fractional
scale, and (B)
the graphic scale, as you enlarge your map?: (A) The
fractional scale is no longer
applicable and (B) the graphic scale continues to be applicable
because it changes
in size along with the map

do you suppose
Menan Buttes Quadrangle is?: 7 1/2-minute
